It's my favorite time of the year...


Time for Summer Under the Stars on TCM. Every August, Turner Classic Movies devotes each day to a different star. It's a great way to get to know about some new stars or to see some lesser known work of a big star - or to revisit a classic. This year started with a day of Elizabeth Taylor movies, followed by days dedicated to Peter O'Toole, Joan Crawford, William Holden, Jimmy Stewart, Robert Mitchum, and Jane Russell. Today's star is Dana Andrews. One of the fun things about Summer Under the Stars is that it's not always the same big stars who get a day. Elizabeth Taylor started it and Sean Connery is ending it, but in between there are days dedicated to Joan Bennett, Rosalind Russell, Ann Miller, and Broderick Crawford. And then there are a few stars whose names you might know, but whose movies you don't. Check out August 24 when Ronald Reagan is featured or August 28 with Roy Rogers or get acquainted with Hollywood in the early days with Buster Keaton on August 30.

So pop some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy some of the best Hollywood has to offer.
