Me: I’m going to go through every day of @TCM’s #SummerUnderTheStars and choose my favorite film each day I& #39;m looking forward to and then broadcast it to twitter

#LetsMovie #TCMParty #IKnowNoOneAsked

Barbara Stanwyck kicks things off on 8/1. Who doesn’t love her? Tough choice but I am going with #CrimeOfPassion (11AM/ET) also starring Sterling Hayden & Raymond Burr. Stanwyck is at her absolute scheming best in this!

8/2: Rock Hudson
#SummerUndertheStars
SO hard to choose (All That Heaven Allows! Magnificent Obsession!) But I’m going with #PillowTalk (8PM/ET). Rock & Doris! Robes! Party lines! That bathtub scene! What more can you ask for?

8/3: Rita Hayworth
My choice is #AffectionatelyYours (9:15AM/ET), with Dennis Morgan, Merle Oberon & Ralph Bellamy. This screwball comedy is SO much fun to watch. Also starring Dennis Morgan& #39;s hair. (wonder how this got there instead of Rita?)
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/4: S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall
I can& #39;t help myself, I *have* to pick #ChristmasinConnecticut (10pm/ET) SZ & Una O& #39;Connor are a delight together. (Dennis Morgan spends a good deal of it in a robe!) I love everything about this movie. Everything is hunky-dunky!
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/5: Ann Miller
I admit, not a huge musical fan, so this is a tough one. BUT I’m going to DVR #SmallTownGirl (4AM/ET) because I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. (Bonus Farley Granger.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">) You don’t want to miss Bobby Van’s incredible jumping dance sequence!
#SummerUndertheStars

8/6: Burt Lancaster
Oh absolutely going to record #BirdmanofAlcatraz (10:45PM/ET)! Haven’t seen this one for ages. Lancaster is SO good in this. (And it’s Telly Savalas’s only performance nominated for an Oscar)
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/7: Sylvia Sidney
#YouOnlyLiveOnce (2:30PM/ET) I’ve never seen this one! Henry Fonda as an escaped convict framed for murder. Also I spy another entry for my robe thread

#LetsMovie

8/8: Charlie Chaplin
No contest! #Limelight (3PM/ET) Chaplin won his only competitive Oscar with this film (Original Dramatic Score), at the & #39;73 Academy Awards. It was eligible because it wasn& #39;t released in LA until 1972, 20 years after its original release.
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/9: Goldie Hawn
I *have* to go with #BestFriends (10AM/ET) and 1982 Burt Reynolds, I mean obviously, there really isn’t another answer, is there? #StayOnBrand

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> How adorable are they?

#SummerUnderTheStars #LetsMovie

8/10: Norma Shearer
#HerCardboardLover (6:15PM/ET) Are you kidding me? Norma Shearer, George Sanders AND Robert Taylor in a film I haven’t seen yet? Sign me up! Also this coat check girl is totally me
#SummerUnderTheStars #LetsMovie

8/11: Sammy Davis, Jr.
There is no question in my mind which of these will be my favorite pick to watch.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> #Oceans11 (5:45PM/ET) of course! This film is so much fun to watch.

#SummerUndertheStars #LetsMovie

8/12: Lana Turner
I’ve never seen #BachelorinParadise (6PM/ET), so I definitely want to see that, it looks like a fun campy film. (More robes!) BUT if you haven’t seen #ALifeofHerOwn (10AM/ET) you should! It’s fantastic! Milland and Turner are perfection.
#SummerUndertheStars

8/13: John Barrymore
Definitely #NightFlight! (3:00PM/ET) I’m hoping a lot of people will be live tweeting it. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out. It had its first fully sanctioned screening in 70 years at #TCMFF in 2011.
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/14: Steve McQueen
Well, let’s face it, the whole day, amirite
But looking forward to #TheCincinnatiKid (6:15PM). If I remember correctly, there are 3 robes in that but sadly McQueen is not in one of them.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen"> You can& #39;t go wrong with Ann-Margret & McQueen.
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/15: Nina Foch
Definitely #ExecutiveSuite (6PM/ET)! Foch decided that her character Erika needed to have something that had been a gift from Bullard. That something was the pencil she wears around her neck. Wise bought it & had it engraved for Foch.

#SummerUndertheStars

8/16: Cary Grant
Looking forward to DVRing #OnceUponAHoneymoon (4AM/ET) bc I don& #39;t think I& #39;ve seen that one yet. But for during the day, gotta go with #RoomForOneMore (6PM/ET) for a particular fave! He and wife Betsy Drake are adorable together w/the kids.
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/17: Maureen O& #39;Hara
NO QUESTION! #SittingPretty (2AM/ET) with Clifton Webb and Robert Young. It& #39;s SUCH a funny film, and Webb with the kids is just priceless. (Both Young and Webb wear robes!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht">) This was remade as the tv series "Mr. Belvidere" in 1985.
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/18: Warren Beatty
Going with #TheRomanSpringofMrsStone (2PM/ET) because I had no idea Vivien Leigh had done a movie with him and it looks pretty interesting and maybe a little campy, which is always good!

#SummerUnderTheStars #LetsMovie

8/19: Dolores Del Rio
I& #39;m going with #TheFugitive. (4PM/ET) I& #39;ve only seen this one once, I think. Looking forward to seeing it again. Having Henry Fonda as a #HotPriest doesn& #39;t hurt.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht"> And obviously since John Ford directed this, Ward Bond is in it too

8/20: William Powell
Definitely going with #ILoveYouAgain (4PM/ET) for a fave for his day! Love this one. Frank McHugh is always perfect as the sidekick, isn& #39;t he? And of course Myrna! (*whispers* and a robe!) Also a boy scout trip scene that is hilarious!
#SummerUndertheStars

8/21: Diana Dors
Admittedly I haven& #39;t seen many of her films but I& #39;m going to go with #ManBait (11:30AM/ET) for two reasons: The name itself, and George Brent. (But it also looks and sounds like it& #39;ll be really good!)
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/22: Natalie Wood
#LoveWithTheProperStranger (10:15PM/ET) plot schmott it& #39;s got Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen, how have I never heard of this??? I& #39;m all in!

#SummerUnderTheStars

8/23: Olivia de Havilland
Originally to be Bette Davis& #39;s day, TCM switched out so they could honor ODH that day. How fitting because they were such good friends. It& #39;s a tie for me! #LightinthePiazza (10AM/ET) & #TheHeiress (12AM/ET).
#SummerUndertheStars

8/24: George Raft
ALL good ones that day but #InvisibleStripes!! (4:30AM/ET) LOOK AT THEM JUST LOOK AT THEM

I will need to have my smelling salts at the ready!

#SummerUndertheStars

8/25: Anne Shirley
Definitely #SaturdaysChildren (2:45AM/ET)! Not only Anne Shirley, but John Garfield AND Claude Rains! So excited for this one.

#SummerUndertheStars

8/26: Laurence Olivier
I& #39;m going with #ThePrinceAndTheShowgirl! (2AM/ET) I really enjoyed watching this and haven& #39;t seen it in ages! (and yes, there& #39;s a robe!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">)
#SummerUndertheStars

8/27: Claudette Colbert
Oh man. I seriously can& #39;t just pick one, they are all SO good. #ThreeCameHome, #ThePalmBeachStory, #WithoutReservations...but I& #39;m going to pick #TheSecretFury (10:30AM/ET). Robert Ryan!
#SummerUndertheStars

8/28: Paul Henreid
Can& #39;t wait for #BetweenTwoWorlds! (4PM/ET)
A fantasy drama from 1944, it also stars John Garfield, Sydney Greenstreet and Eleanor Parker.
#SummerUnderTheStars

8/29: Eva Marie Saiint
I& #39;m sorry to be so predictable, but I really have to pick #36Hours with Rod Taylor and James Garner. I love this movie so much, and Eva Marie Saint is just brilliant in it.

#SummerUnderTheStars

8/30: Charlton Heston
Ohhh! One of my favorites! #TheWreckoftheMaryDeare (7:45AM/ET) with Gary Cooper, featuring Michael Redgrave and Richard Harris. A great thriller. I haven& #39;t seen it in forever. Can& #39;t wait to see it again.
#SummerUndertheStars

8/31: Alain Delon
#TheYellowRollsRoyce (6AM/ET) Check it out if you haven& #39;t seen it! It& #39;s a fun movie with an all-star cast. The film uses the car to tell the stories of the three very different owners of the car. #Scorpio (8:05AM/ET) also looks fantastic!
#SummerUndertheStars

Well if you& #39;ve been following along with this thread today, thank you! Regardless of what movies are your favorites from @TCM& #39;s #SummerUnderTheStars month-long event, it& #39;s clear that we have an embarrassment of riches yet again this year. Thank you TCM!
