Turner Classic Movies In November

The Hollywood Revue posted its monthly preview of comming attractions on Turner Classic Movies for the month of November.  Apparently, the themes are blond bombshells and ships. 
If you’re a fan of blonde bombshells, this is the month for you!  Rather than having just one star of the month, TCM will be spotlighting two classic blondes every Monday and Wednesday this month.  All the classic blondes like Marilyn Monroe, Lana Turner, Jean Harlow, and Jayne Mansfield (just to name a few) will be getting their time to shine.  And in preparation for the TCM Classic Film Cruise, they’ll be playing a night of movies set on ships every Thursday.
