Happy Birthday, Deborah Kerr (30 September 1921 - 16 October 2007)
She was never really conscious of the fact that she was world famous. She was an actress, she loved to act, and in acting she assumed somebody else’s personality. I think she made movies that have never worn of their splendour. — Peter Viertel

It’s almost October (can you believe it?), which means it’s the season for scary movies on TCM. Things start out on Friday, Oct. 1 with a daytime lineup of pre-code horror. We’ll be DVRing director Fritz Lang’s influential German film, The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933) airing at 10:30 am ET/7:30 am PT, but there’s also a lot of old Hollywood favorites, including The Most Dangerous Game (1932) at 8 am ET/5 am PT and Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) at 3:45 pm ET/12:45 pm PT.
Sunday nights in October will also feature horror films. Director Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller The Birds (1963) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT will be part of a night of creature features.
Here’s the best of the rest for the week of Sept. 27, 2021:
1. Citizen Kane (1941) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Monday, Sept. 27: Writer/director/star Orson Welles’ masterpiece about a newspaper mogul is part of a night of programming featuring the new Academy Museum in Los Angeles. There’s something more than a hope that viewers will get a gander at the world’s most famous sled before the evening is over.
2. National Silent Movie Day on Wednesday, Sept. 29: Honestly, you couldn’t go wrong DVRing everything during this daylong celebration of the artistry of silent films (if you’re interested here’s a link to the complete September schedule https://www.tcm.com/schedule-monthly…) but we’ll point you to the sublime tragic beauty of Maria Falconetti in The Passion of Joan of Arc (1927) at 2 pm ET/11 am PT and the sublime comic beauty of Buster Keaton in Sherlock, Jr. (1924) at 1:15 am ET/10:15 pm PT. The documentaries airing include Be Natural (2018) at 9:45 pm ET/6:45 pm PT a tribute to pioneering female filmmaker Alice Guy-Blache.
3. An Affair to Remember (1957) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Thursday, Sept. 30: This all-time great romantic weepie starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr is a great way to wrap up September. An Affair to Remember is part of a daylong lineup celebrating the centenary of Scottish actor Deborah Kerr, who was born Sept. 30, 1921, in Glasgow.
4. Fleischer Animation 100th Anniversary-Part 2 at 10:45 pm ET/7:45 pm PT Saturday, Oct. 2: This compilation of cartoons from the famed Fleischer Studios includes Saturday matinee favorites like Betty Boop and Popeye.
