Sunday, April 3, 2022:
TCM (Turner Classic Movies) is having a special movie marathon Sunday in memory of Doris Day on what would have been her 100th birthday. (She passed away in May of 2019.)
My personal movie pick from the marathon is...
Storyline: The Winfield family moves into a new house in a small town in Indiana. Tomboy Marjorie Winfield (Doris Day) falls for the boy-next-door in the years before World War I.
(The movie includes various seasons: including Spring and Winter, which includes Christmastime, of course! The Christmas song Doris Day sings near the end of the movie is absolutely beautiful, it always gives me chills and basically all-the-feels!)
On Moonlight Bay
airs Sunday, April 3, 2022
at 12pm/11c. on TCM
* "On Moonlight Bay" is available on DVD with it's sequel, "By The Light Of The Silvery Moon." See current price details at Amazon.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Some of you may recall, I share my birthday with Doris Day, so I'll be spending time with my precious family on my day. Family is truly the greatest gift!
As for the new movies, I may not be able to catch as much this Saturday and Sunday, but my DVR is set. How about you? Which movie (or show) looks most appealing to you this weekend?
*Please note: I have not pre-screened the new movie premieres. If you'd like to give a review after they air, please share in comments.
Blessings to you all, Net
