It’s that time of year again: Summer Under the Stars, TCM’s annual star-a-day celebration of classic Hollywood, is upon us! As I’ve done for the past three years, I’ll be sharing recommendations for every day of SUTS.

The usual Tuesday “TMP Recommends” series will be on hold for the month of August, replaced by these SUTS posts. Keep an eye out for more recommendations on August 6 (for the 7th – 17th), August 17 (for the 18th – 25th) and August 25 (for the 26th – 31st).

Today we begin with recommendations for days 1 – 6! Happy viewing!
