TopBilled Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Coming up to the 15th, I wonder if TCM is working on this. Fingers crossed, we will see. I have a feeling they will feature Ingrid. Or if not her, it will be a repeat/overplayed star. I would be pleasantly (very pleasantly) surprised if it's George Sanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton_Keyes Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Fingers crossed, we will see. I have a feeling they will feature Ingrid. Or if not her, it will be a repeat/overplayed star. I would be pleasantly (very pleasantly) surprised if it's George Sanders. I would be surprised if Ingrid Bergman is SOTM in September, because she's already getting 24 hours near the end of August for SUTS. Having said that, there is some precedent for such a move. In 2014, Cary Grant became the first actor in TCM's history to be featured during SUTS and as SOTM in the same calendar year. Also, given this month's SOTM -- the 'pin-up girl' -- and next month's Shirley Temple SOTM festival, I would expect September's SOTM to be a man.

But since there are more men being featured in August (16 male stars, 15 female stars), TCM may not even allow gender to be a consideration when selecting the September Star of the Month. In recent years we had Lauren Bacall, Kirk Douglas and Kim Novak in September. It tends to be an overplayed star/friend of TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 THE VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED is airing on TCM this afternoon. Great film-- one of Sanders' best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Since Susan Hayward was selected as Star of the Month for September 2015, I thought I'd update the title of the thread.

It looks like our, with props to yours truly, campaign for Susan Hayward was effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, they will agree about George Sanders, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody1949 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I thought we'd find out October's schedule today. Maybe later this week...? It looks like all forthcoming schedules won't appear until the third week of the month. At least that's what the previous 2 months have shown.

Kay Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... David Niven is SOTM.

Kay Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 not seeing ANYthing but dates?? I get that a lot, too. Can't seem to determine what makes it work when it works. You can try going to another month's schedule and adjusting the date on the URL address, but I can't make any guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could have done better than Niven, but I am sure there are plenty of people who might be happy with that choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM108 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 yup, that worked Thanks! Not for me. They must know that I don't approve of Niven. Maybe they'll get around to Sanders on the 100th anniversary of his death, after they've honored Al Jolson and every member of the Mickey Mouse Club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lydecker Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 David Niven before George Sanders (and about a dozen other more worthy potential SOTMs)???!! What can the programmers be thinking? Lydecker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can probably count out November and several more months after that, since it's unlikely they would tribute two English people that close together. You guys are right, this stinks.
