TCM Schedule for Tuesday, March 18: TCM Birthday Tribute: Edward Everett Horton/Slap Shots

[CBHagman]

Yes, you can call him an icon, and every movie is better for having this character actor in it and every cartoon is better for having that inimitable voice narrating it.

Enjoy!

And on an awkward note, TCM's info on the evening schedule has been inconsistent. It's listed as Slap Shots in one place and as Guest Programmer in another. Well, it's still a great schedule.
