TCM Schedule for Tuesday, October 4: Pick Your Poison
TCM's Now Playing newsletter for October contains a number of mistakes. It indicates the daytime schedule for October 4 is devoted to Margaret Sullivan [sic], but it's actually Adventures in Waitressing. Margaret Sullavan's day is coming up on October 18.
The evening schedule for October 4 is accurate. Poisonings all evening long!
