TCM Schedule for Tuesday, November 21: Star of the Month: Gloria Grahame
One look at the TCM daytime schedule and you'll know that the theme can only be Problems with Parole.
And perhaps a trip to the pokey will also be in order during tonight's schedule of Gloria Grahame movies. We shall see.
And somewhat belatedly, I have encountered the news that Gloria Grahame was a Democrat and supported Adlai Stevenson.
