TCM Remembers Actress Ann Rutherford with All-Day Marathon Tuesday, July 3

Tribute to Include Performances in Such Films as Of Human Hearts (1938),
Pride and Prejudice (1940) and Gone with the Wind (1939)

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will remember the life and career of actress Ann Rutherford on Tuesday, July 3. Rutherford passed away yesterday at the age of 94. TCM’s 10-hour memorial tribute is set to begin at 6 a.m. (ET) with Of Human Hearts (1938), starring Walter Huston and James Stewart.

The following is a complete schedule of TCM’s July 3 memorial tribute to Ann Rutherford (all times Eastern):

6 a.m. – Of Human Hearts (1938), with Walter Huston and James Stewart; directed by Clarence Brown
7:45 a.m. – Love Finds Andy Hardy (1938), with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland; directed by George B. Seitz
9:30 a.m. – Four Girls in White (1939), with Florence Rice and Una Merkel; directed by S. Sylvan Simon
10:45 a.m. – Pride and Prejudice (1940), with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier; directed by Robert Z. Leonard
12:45 p.m. – Washington Melodrama (1941), with Frank Morgan and Kent Taylor; directed by S. Sylvan Simon
2:15 p.m. – This Time for Keeps (1942), with Robert Ser ling and Guy Kibee; directed by Charles Reisner
3:30 p.m. – Whistling In Dixie (1942), with Red Skelton and George Bancroft; directed by S. Sylvan Simon
4:45 p.m. – Two O'Clock Courage (1945), with Tom Conway and Richard Lane; directed by Anthony Mann
6 p.m. – Adventures of Don Juan (1948), with Errol Flynn and Robert Douglas; directed by Vincent Sherman
8 p.m. – Gone with the Wind (1939), with Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh; directed by Victor Fleming


I've never seen Of Human Hearts, but anything with Huston and Stewart, with Brown directing, has to be at least worth a watch. I see it also has Beulah Bondi, Guy Kibbee, Charles Coburn, John Carradine, Gene Lockhart and Sterling Holloway in it (and supposedly Ted Healy was supposed to be in it too, before he was killed), a character actor lover's dream cast!

Also great to see an Anthony Mann film I'd previously missed. Has anyone caught Two O'Clock Courage before?
