TCM Schedule for Tuesday, September 5: Star of the Month: Jennifer Jones

[CBHagman]

Break out the popcorn and the self-help books!

Star of the Month Jennifer Jones is by turns simply saintly (Song of Bernadette) and scorchingly sexy (Duel in the Sun) in tonight's movie roster, which includes Ernst Lubitsch's Cluny Brown (not to be missed, as I understand it). Oh, and there will be multiple Joseph Cotten sightings, too.

As for the daytime TCM schedule, it's 100% how-to manual.
