Tomorrow on TCM:

My next TCM recommendation is 1947’s Nora Prentiss portrayed by Ann Sheridan. This first-class film noir, previously reviewed here, will make its striking impression Tuesday, September 22 at 8:45 am PDT.

Kent Smith, Ann Sheridan

TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed 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.
