1. Mister 880 a charming little movie.

In Mister 880 (8pm) Edmund Gwenn plays my favorite movie crook. Yes he is a counterfeiter and yes he should be caught and put in the clink. But we are rooting for him all the way to stay one step ahead of The Law. And he does give Treasury agent Burt Lancaster a run for his 'money' if you will.
