As a fan of classic film comedy, I am always very happy when TCM has a comedian as their star of the month. For this month, the star of the month is none other than Red Skelton. Starting every Monday at 5pm Pacific, 8pm Eastern, TCM will be playing a block of Red Skelton movies.
Though many know Red best for his work on radio and TV, he had a very impressive film career as well. Like many classic movie comedians, though he was in some great films most of his filmography is made up of programmers that simply provide a fun way to spend an hour and a half. However not every movie needs to be Casablanca and sometimes a fun vintage programmer is exactly what I want to watch, and I plan on watching as much of Red Skelton as I can.
Below is a list of the Red Skelton movies that will be playing.
