Sheridan was previously the Star of the Month close to two dozen years ago, in August 1996. It's great that TCM is celebrating her once more and perhaps introducing a new generation of classic film viewers to her work.
37 Ann Sheridan films will be shown on Tuesday evenings this month, starting on June 2nd.
Please click on any hyperlinked title for my corresponding full-length review, and consult the TCM schedule for each time zone.
June 2nd is focused on Sheridan's early roles, with nine titles:BLACK LEGION (1937),
DODGE CITY (1939)
THE FOOTLOOSE HEIRESS (1937)
THEY MADE ME A CRIMINAL (1939)
ALCATRAZ ISLAND (1937)
MYSTERY HOUSE (1938)
THE PATIENT IN ROOM 18 (1938)
THE GREAT O'MALLEY (1937)
LITTLE MISS THOROUGHBRED (1938)
On June 9th Sheridan's dramatic roles in nine films are featured:KINGS ROW (1942)
EDGE OF DARKNESS (1943)
WOMAN ON THE RUN (1950) (more on the film here)
ANGELS WASH THEIR FACES (1939)
TORRID ZONE (1940)
WINGS FOR THE EAGLE (1942)
CASTLE ON THE HUDSON (1940)
SHE LOVED A FIREMAN (1937)
BROADWAY MUSKETEERS (1938)
June 16th starts off with a "Femme Fatale Triple Feature":NORA PRENTISS (1947)
THE UNFAITHFUL (1947)
THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT (1941)
She's actually the "good girl" in THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT, though! The other films on the 16th are a trio of musical comedies:
SHINE ON HARVEST MOON (1944)
THE OPPOSITE SEX (1956)
NAVY BLUES (1941)
June 23rd the focus is comedy:I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE (1949)
THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER (1942)
GEORGE WASHINGTON SLEPT HERE (1942)
THE DOUGHGIRLS (1944)
IT ALL CAME TRUE (1940)
HONEYMOON FOR THREE (1941)
COWBOY FROM BROOKLYN (1938)
And on June 30th the month wraps up with a random assortment of films made with some of Ann's frequent costars:
CITY FOR CONQUEST (1940)SILVER RIVER (1948)
ONE MORE TOMORROW (1946)
SAN QUENTIN (1937)
JUKE GIRL (1942)
NAUGHTY BUT NICE (1939)
It's quite an impressive lineup! I think any of these evenings could be watched all the way through for some really solid hours of entertainment.
I wish that Ann's charming Universal Pictures film TAKE ME TO TOWN (1953) would show up on TV or DVD at some point, but we'll have to keep hoping on that one.
