Tomorrow on TCM…

One of Alfred Hitchcock’s more uncustomary, yet distinguished, offerings is 1953’s I Confess previously reviewed here, featuring a fervent, introspective performance from Montgomery Clift. This highly engrossing confessional will take place Friday, October 17 at 11 am PDT.

TCM's current schedule can be seen by clicking on the above image. To confirm the correct Pacific Daylight (West Coast) showtime information, subtract 3 hours from the Eastern Daylight (East Coast) showtime listed on TCM’s schedule.

All responses are not only welcomed but encouraged in the comments section below.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
