3:30 p.m. Eastern-- "After Office Hours" Clark Gable, Constance Bennett, Billie Burke, Margaret Dumont, William Demarest
This caught my eye because:
1) Any newspaper mystery with Clark Gable as a tough editor has my vote.
2) Look at who wrote the screenplay-- Herman Mankiewicz, no less!
3) As a society reporter working for Gable, it has charming Constance Bennett, of the illustrious theatrical Bennett family. Richard was her father; wonderful, smoky voiced Joan Bennett was her sister.
4) It's of mid-Thirties' vintage. Nice to see more films of that period, get out of a "midcentury" rut...

I forgot to add that it is a Constance Bennett fest, with this to follow:
4:45 p.m. Eastern-- "Topper" Delightful, comedy, beloved by both critics and audiences, with glam ghosts Cary Grant and Connie Bennett affectionately "haunting" their pal, stuffy banker Roland Young.
Edited to add: And there are characteristic Constance Bennett vehicles unreeling right now this a.m., including "Outcast Lady", "Sin Takes a Holiday", and "Lady With a Past"...

The plotline of "After Office Hours" always seems a little thin to me, but I'll rewatch "Topper" anytime.

Just read yesterday that Clark Gable III passed away a couple of weeks ago in Dallas. He looked so much like his Grandfather, only 30 years old. I always thought it was so sad that Clark Gable's son was born after his death in I believe 1960.

Yeah, @beckyb1012, that made me sad too. Those Gable genes, physically at least, seemed pretty persistent.
I like him paired with the delicacy of Constance Bennett...
