TCM Schedule for Tuesday, May 10: Happy 75th Anniversary
Multiple classics of Hollywood's golden age are reaching their 75th birthdays. See the evening schedule for a list.
And speaking of birthdays, don't forget to put on your top hat and brush off your tails, or maybe get decked out in a feather-trimmed frock. Fred Astaire was born this day in 1899, and TCM is throwing a screening party.
