TCM Schedule for Wednesday, June 26: Birthday Tribute: Peter Lorre/Nicole Kidman - Part 1

[CBHagman]

Well, this is getting interesting! TCM is bringing out the one and only Peter Lorre (born June 26, 1904) and then following up with Nicole Kidman (born June 20, 1967). I'll bet you weren't expecting BOTH of them to be in musicals, or for directors Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, Baz Luhrmann, and Gus Van Sant to be deposited into one Wednesday schedule.
