TCM Schedule for Tuesday, January 23: Arranged Marriages
Like musicals, especially in color? You're in luck, because TCM has a daytime schedule of late '60s/early '70s musicals and segues into an evening of movies about arranged marriages, led in this case by the 1971 adaptation of the Broadway phenomenon Fiddler on the Roof, one of my favorite musicals of all time. It also happens to be about the shift from the traditional arranged marriage, which was revisited in the '80s by the nonmusical Crossing Delancey.
But I digress. Put on your dancing shoes, warm up your voices, and prepare to celebrate with TCM.
