December is Cary Grant month on TCM.

Happy Sunday morning, people. Even though I’m feeling moderately crappy today I’ll do my duty as a housebound retiree to announce that DECEMBER IS CARY GRANT MONTH on Turner Classic Movies and everybody should record and watch as many of these films as possible every Monday all month long, starting tomorrow!

And if all of these movies aren’t enough for you, tune in on Christmas Eve, too, for another of my Cary Grant favorites: Indiscreet (1958) with Ingrid Bergman and Cecil Parker.

One last thought. It’s not my fault that Penny Serenade shows up twice on this list (December 15 and December 22). Blame TCM. Thank you.
