TCM Schedule for Tuesday, July 3: 50 States in 50 Movies

[CBHagman]

TCM continues its 50 States in 50 Movies theme, with tonight's selection appearing under the Big City Bustlin' category. And though a casual look at the plot summaries seems to suggest a disproportionate focus on New York, Delaware (Meet the People) and New Jersey (On the Waterfront) join Maryland (Shipmates Forever) and Pennsylvania (The Philadelphia Story) in this tour of the Mid-Atlantic.
