TCM Highlights

Here are some January highlights on Turner Classic Movies. Blue = noteworthy director (including three William Castle films I was not familiar with and a slew of Val Lewton films along with a new documentary), Red = I like it a lot; Green = a rarity (at least rare for TV). Also, if you are a Cagney fan, there's LOTS of Cagney in January.
