TCM Schdule for Monday September 7 - TRIBUTE TO THE TELLURIDE FILM FESTIVAL

[rdmtimp]

It's Labor Day, and that means TCM's annual salute to the Telluride Film Festival; there's a wide array of films on display today (my personal delight: I'm looking forward to seeing Francis Coppola's "The Rain People" for the first time).
