Turner Classic Movies Between-Films Break

Airdate: August 30, 1999

This bit of miscellaneous cable television content was recorded off Turner Classic Movies on the morning of August 30, 1999, when they were airing a 24-hour tribute to actress Joan Blondell on her birthday. Broadcast between showings of Lawyer Man and Back in Circulation, the footage includes:

• "Darkness Before Dawn" film noir series promo.

• "Star of the Month" featurette with Janet Leigh paying tribute to her mentor, Norma Shearer.

• The Nun's Story trailer with typewriter-themed border.

• "One Reel Wonders" presentation of vintage Metro Goldwyn Mayer short Aqua Antics: Water Bugs Volume 2 with narrator Pete Smith.

• TCM host Robert Osborn describes the programming for later that evening, including Blondell's film Gold Diggers of 1933.

This digital video was sourced from a blank VHS tape, recorded at high speed (I apologize for the washed-out picture).
