Wow! The Muppets Take Manhattan.
Seems to be the only one ever shown on TCM.
Seems odd Disney would let it out.
I'm also excited to see Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
The rest of the schedule looks good as well.
Thanks cmovieviewer!

Daughter of Shanghai (1937), which is being shown, is a rare example of an early Hollywood film where the Asian characters are the protagonists. Anna May Wong and Philip Ann play the leads. The only problem with the film is that it's too short.

How is In the Name of the Father a premiere in both April and May? The Thin Red Line still doesn't get on the Memorial Day weekend. I'm pleased to see the premiere of Synecdoche, New York

Based on the TCM e-mail that came out today, I should point out that the TCM Star of the Month for May is Sessue Hayakawa.
Other Asian stars are also featured after primetime on Mondays.

Yeah, same. They are really getting the most out of that one “yellow face” documentary. They are probably obligated to air it a certain number of times.

I'm getting tired of these group SOTMs or "trying to right past wrongs" SOTMs by focusing on a minority SOTM who was never really a star. There are so many stars waiting for a month that have NEVER been chosen and TCM seems to have no interest in showcasing them.

It’s Joan Bennett she has been waiting for iirc but there are tons more that would’ve been a better choice than Seuss’s Heyawaka or however you spell it. Anna May Wong was also a poor choice a few years ago because she was more of a character actor or the equivalent to that than an actual star.

It turns out the May schedule has Breathless, not Godard's first film which TCM has shown fairly frequently, but the 1983 remake starring Richard Gere. It also has Switching Channels, by common consent everybody's least favorite version of The Front Page. Might as well test that view.
