Wheeler and Woolsey Movies on TV

There are no fewer than four Wheeler and Woolsey movies coming up in next six weeks, and one film starring Bert Wheeler.

On September 3, 2008, Turner Classic Movies will be celebrating the start of football season by showing Hold ‘Em Jail, the 1932 prison football romp co-starring Edna Mae Oliver (one of our all time favorites!) and a very young Betty Grable. You’ll have to get up early; showtime is 7:15AM Eastern time.

Still on September 3rd, check out The Cowboy Quarterback; starring Bert Wheeler and William Demarest. This movie will be shown at 7:00PM Eastern.

Then, on October 1st, 2008 TCM will show a triple feature of WW films: Rio Rita at 7:30AM, Dixiana at 10:30AM and Girl Crazy at 12:15PM. We’ll be posting more information about these films very soon!
