Mothers in the Movies on Sundays on Turner Classic Movies

Ann Blyth and Joan Crawford as Veda and Mildred in Mildred Pierce

The second Sunday in May is Mother's Day. To this end Turner Classic Movies is showing movies about motherhood the first four Sunday nights of May and all day Sunday, May 8 (Mother's Day) under the heading "Mothers in the Movies." The movies are a varied lot, from the seductive Mrs. Robinson of The Graduate (1967) to the devoted, if underappreciated Mildred Pierce from the 1945 movie of that name. Below is a schedule of the movies being show. The ones that I don't think you should miss are in bold. All times are Central.
