TCM Schedule for Friday, November 5, 2021 -- What's On Tonight: Columbia Musical Gems

[Staph]

I'm having the same "403 Forbidden" error with the schedule for Friday. According to the internet, 403 Forbidden means that I'm trying to access some website that I don't have access to. Insofar as I can tell, I have no web links whatsoever within the text of the schedule that I'm trying to post.

So, my apologies. I'll keep trying to load the schedule, but it's not looking very promising at the moment.

1. It looks like the 403 Forbidden is a known problem at the moment on DU.

---------------------

Early roles for Ann Miller and Marilyn Monroe are worth checking out.

3. Update:

I caught all these on DVR and they're definitely worth checking out. Decent "B" films of historical significance. They're fun too.
