TCM Celebrates Fred MacMurray in January

Fred MacMurray, who, despite the versatility and talent he displayed in a wide variety of movie roles for 43 years, is best remembered now by most people for only one of the 85 films he made: Billy Wilder's tough-as-nails Double Indemnity. Moreover, the first things that pop into most minds when MacMurray's name is mentioned are: (a) the television series My Three Sons and (b) his long running Disney connection which consisted of seven light-as-helium comedies he made from 1959 through 1973 such as The Shaggy Dog, The Absent-Minded Professor and Son of Flubber.

This month TCM salutes the magnificent Fred, and will hopefully help change that limited perception of his career. 

Join TCM every Wednesday in January for a wide spectrum of his movies, including all four of his films with Barbara Stanwyck, plus two treats never-before-seen on the channel: 1947's Suddenly It's Spring and 1954's Woman's World.
