TCM Schedule for Tuesday, September 23rd: Prime Time Feature: Genderbenders

[CBHagman]

Dustin Hoffman in drag, Walter Pidgeon and Greer Garson teaming up again, and it looks like TCM is finally airing a version of the tale "The Little Clown of God" or "Our Lady's Juggler" (The Greatest Gift). Christmas in September! I only hope I can get the VCR to work.

I found Julie Andrews sexier in that film than in anything else I've
