TCM Schedule for Wednesday, July 7th: TCM Prime Time Feature: Carol Reed

[CBHagman]

Check out the line-up of Carol Reed films tonight, including the absolutely unmissable The Third Man and Odd Man Out.

There also seems to be a little Yul Brynner tribute going on, though I'm not sure why they picked the 7th, as his birthday is actually the 11th of this month.
