First Films Announced for the 2022 TCM Classic Film Festival

After two years of being a virtual event because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the TCM Classic Film Festival is returning to Hollywood.

Among the films being shown are new restorations of films. These include the world premiere of a new restoration of Giant (1956) and theatrical premieres of new restorations of A Star is Born (1937) and Angels with Dirty Faces (1938). Of course, the TCM Classic Film Festival is known for celebrating the anniversaries of classic films, so it should come as no surprise that there will be a 90th anniversary screening of the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie The Gay Divorcee (1934). In celebration of Doris Day's 100th birthday is a special screening of the film The Pajama Game (1957). Also being shown are the classic musical It's Always Fair Weather (1955), Key Largo (1948) starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, the kungfu comedy Drunken Master II (1994), and the Sammy Davis, Jr. film A Man Called Adam (1966).
