TopBilled Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Not to my knowledge. But maybe he will get a day in August for Summer Under the Stars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LsDoorMat Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'm pretty sure Gable has been SOTM before - probably more than once - because he spent almost his entire career at MGM, plus he had a couple more at Warner Bros. early in his career. Thus TCM could get those easily. The few that TCM doesn't own like "It Happened One Night" and "The Misfits" are easy to find on disc if you want to see them.

My reading of the OP was that they were asking if there is a Gable tribute going on now, in the month of April (because they saw a lot of Gable films on the schedule?), and not that they were saying TCM should have Gable as SOTM. Anyhow it has been 15 years and as noted TCM has 'easy' access to most of his films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a long time for somebody that has such a diverse body of work over such a long period of time over which TCM has very large control.

There's hardly a week when his movies are off screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
