TCM Schedule for Wednesday, November 17th: Moguls and Movie Stars, a History of Hollywood

[CBHagman]

Such an interesting line-up during the day, and in particular I'm glad to Westward the Women turn up again. I seem to recall that TCM first showed that when the winner of their guest programmer contest requested it. I don't think it's available on DVD, so put that in your TiVo and smoke it...
