31 Films in 31 Days, Redux

It's a new Summer Under the Stars at TCM and I'm working on the same challenge as last year -- watch 31 films in 31 days and write up reviews of them. I think it should be a little more manageable this year, since I have now have high speed Internet.

I've got the tentative list of the 31 Films for August and they are as follows:

August 1 - Lauren Bacall - Sex and the Single Girl
August 2 - James Cagney - Angels with Dirty Faces
August 3 - Joel McCrea - Sullivan's Travels
August 4 - Alec Guiness - The Lavendar Hill Mob
August 5 - Katherine Hepburn - Holiday
August 6 - John Wayne - Red River
August 7 - Judy Garland - Thoroughbreds Don't Cry
August 8 - Shelley Winters - The Night of the Hunter
August 9 - Ray Milland - A Life of Her Own
August 10 - Lena Horne - Till the Clouds Roll By
August 11 - Kirk Douglas - Out of the Past
August 12 - Jane Wyman - Make Your Own Bed
August 13 - Cary Grant - Monkey Business
August 14 - Glenn Ford - The Courtship of Eddie's Father
August 15 - Fred Astaire - Silk Stockings
August 16 - Donna Reed - Faithful in My Fashion
August 17 - James Garner - 36 Hours
August 18 - Irene Dunne - Bachelor Apartment
August 19 - Marlon Brando - The Teahouse of the August Moon
August 20 - James Stewart - You Can't Take It with You
August 21 - Maureen O'Hara - Dance, Girl, Dance
August 22 - Joan Crawford - Possessed
August 23 - Basil Rathbone - The Dawn Patrol
August 24 - Sophia Loren - The Key
August 25 - Norma Shearer - Private Lives
August 26 - Randolph Scott - The Desperadoes
August 27 - Spencer Tracy - 20,000 Years in Sing-Sing
August 28 - William Holden - Rachel and the Stranger
August 29 - Constance Bennett - Bed of Roses
August 30 - Deborah Kerr - Tea and Sympathy
August 31 - Humphrey Bogart - One Fatal Hour

Let me say again, this is just a tentative list. It's already August 6 and I've only managed to watch two movies thus far, but I have a feeling this weekend I can knock off the ones from this week. So, here goes nothing!

Oh, and another sad note: Van Johnson didn't get a day to himself. How sad for poor Van. Oh well, he does pop up in a few films this month and I've scheduled myself to watch one with him in it -- Till the Clouds Roll By features both Van Johnson and Van Heflin. Awesome!!!
