At this moment turner classic movies channel is showing a b&w called “Pacific Liner” about a ships doctor and chief engineer facing an outbreak of cholera on a steam liner...unbelievable coincidence?? I doubt it..
Looks like everybody is gettin’ in on the act. Lol
Yes, it is a coincidence. If you look at the rest of the schedule, they are also showing a block of other sea related movies, including Color Scales, The Sea Around Us, Fatty & Mabel Adrift, Sea Spiders, Transatlantic Tunnel and Captain Spanky's Showboat.
Later today and into tonight, they have The Poseidon Adventure, The Sea Wolf, The Last Voyage, A Night to Remember, Wreck of the Mary Deare, etc.
TCM often runs a block of movies together with a common theme.
