TCM Schedule for Tuesday, January 28: Michael Caine

[CBHagman]

Classic Film Group members, note the presence not only of several well-loved Ernst Lubitsch classics but also some rarities from his career. I've seen The Merry Widow, for instance, but not The Loves of Pharaoh or The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg.

By the way, Lubitsch's birthday is tomorrow, the 29th, but perhaps TCM is getting started early.
