TCM Summer Under the Stars 2023


Every August on Turner Classic Movies is dedicated to Summer Under the Stars. Each day of the month is dedicated to a different star, with 24 hours worth of their movies. This year sees several stars being honoured during Summer Under the Stars for the very first time, including Anthony Perkins, Stella Stevens, Jackie Cooper, the Nicholas Brothers, Rhonda Fleming, Katy Jurado, Geraldine Chaplin, and John Carradine. Of course, this year's Summer Under the Stars also includes many of the biggest stars of years, among them Lucille Ball, Errol Flynn, Robert Ryan, Bob Hope, Barbara Stanwyck, James Stewart, Vincent Price, Humphrey Bogart, and many others.
