TCM Schedule for Tuesday, April 6: 31 Days of Oscar: Oscar A to Z

We are up to F, which is entirely fitting, because one of the featured films is Four Weddings and a Funeral, which begins with the F-word, and I don't mean "funeral."

In any event, there's impressive variety in the schedule today. Enjoy!
