TCM Schedule for Tuesday, July 29th: Star of the Month Rosalind Russell

[CBHagman]

Give TCM credit for a Canterbury Tales-like diversity in featured roles. We've got everything from con artists to kleptomaniacs, from strippers to nuns on board today, with the usual dollop of detectives and spies. Enjoy.

And whoa, I had no idea Ida Lupino directed The Trouble with Angels.
