TCM Schedule for Wednesday, May 20th: TCM Prime Time Feature: Michael Sarrazin

[CBHagman]

It isn't Sarrazin's birthday until the 22nd (and he shares the birthday, though not the birth year, with Laurence Olivier, of all people), but he's your man for tonight.

And there's variety aplenty the rest of the day, thanks to it being Jimmy Stewart's actual birthday!
