TCM Previews August 2010 Summer Under the Stars Festival

Turner Classic Movies has issued a press release previewing its 8th annual Summer Under the Stars festival, scheduled for August 2010.

As regular TCM viewers are aware, each day in August showcases the work of a different actor.

14 actors will be first-timers for the SUTS festival. The newcomers are Julie Christie, Ethel Barrymore, Margaret O’Brien, Warren Beatty, John Mills, Woody Strode, Kathryn Grayson, Gene Tierney, Robert Stack, Ann Sheridan, Walter Pidgeon, John Gilbert, Lee Remick, and Thelma Todd.

That's a terrific list, and there are another 17 actors whose work will be spotlighted that month.

A whopping 52 of the movies shown in August will be TCM premieres.

I hope TCM will produce brand-new posters as they did for last year's festival. The artwork was fabulous.

May 24th Update: The complete August schedule listing all 31 stars has now been posted.
