I kept waiting for a post to at least a link of the schedule, but it doesn't seem to have happened this month. So, I will provide what information I've cribbed from Escape Press, etc.
Daytime May 1 Glenn Ford's 107th Birthday. The day ends with a 2019 documentary on cinematographers, which provides a segue into the month-long James Wong Howe tribute.

Primetime May 1 Night One of a Month-Long Tribute to James Wong Howe. Looks like he just moved from one TCM-friendly studio to another, so he was an easy choice.
Edit: Oh, this runs for 24 hours, so it's the daytime theme for May 2 as well.
Laugh, Clown, Laugh (Lon Chaney, Loretta Young) (MGM, 1928) I suppose I'm the last person on here to learn Lorettta Young was 14 when filming began (and Chaney 45)

Primetime May 3 Night One of Star of the Month William Powell. I'm not listing Manhattan Melodrama again, as it also appears on the first James Wong Howe night, but just so you know it's there also. It's the first movie of the month to air twice. The tribute runs until about noon the next day, so it's roughly 18 hours.
When Knighthood Was in Flower (Marion Davies, Forrest Stanley) (Paramount, 1922)
Too Many Kisses (Richard Dix, Frances Howard) (Paramount, 1925)
The Road to Singapore (not the Crosby-Hope movie) (William Powell, Doris Kenyon) (Warner Bros., 1931)
Jewel Robbery (William Powell, Kay Francis) (Warner Bros., 1932)
One Way Passage (William Powell, Kay Francis) (Warner Bros., 1932)
High Pressure (William Powell, Evelyn Brent) (Warner Bros., 1932)
Lawyer Man (William Powell, Joan Blondell) (Warner Bros., 1932)
Double Harness (Ann Harding, William Powell) (RKO, 1933)
Evelyn Prentice (William Powell, Myrna Loy) (MGM, 1934)
Fashions of 1934 (William Powell, Bette Davis) (Warner Bros., 1934)
The Key (William Powell, Edna Best) (Warner Bros., 1934)
Edit: Revised to include One Way Passage, which I left out the first time. I think I listed one Powell--Francis movie and thought I was done with that.

It's interesting they are doing this, since they just had a big spotlight on Howe earlier this year on the Criterion Channel..proving that much of the content is the same on TCM & Criterion Channel, it's just a matter of what appears where, and who gets it first. If the powers that be at WB wanted to find a way for TCM to create revenue, what would be the likely avenue they would pursue? Would it be a stand-alone streaming app? Many classic films (although not the more obscure ones) are on the HBO App. Would it perhaps include commercial content on the TCM channel, something TCM has been able to resist for nearly 30 years. Speaking of 30 years, 2024 is the 30th anniversary of TCM's debut. I wonder if they will plan anything to celebrate? |

All of these announcements are saved in the ‘TCM Schedules’ folder on the main message board page under the ‘Special Features’ category. After a long delay in posting the April schedule (probably due to preparations for the WB anniversary programming), TCM posted the preliminary schedule for May somewhat early for a change. |

Primetime May 4 Night One of a Month-Long Theme on the Weather. These don't all appear to be movies about the weather, per se, but each one apparently at least features a significant weather event. I rented The Last Wave, I believe an early Peter Weir film, on VHS, probably from Blockbuster, when I was in college and thought it was fantastic.
The Hurricane (Dorothy Lamour, Jon Hall) (Goldwyn/United Artists, 1937)
The Wizard of Oz (Judy Garland, Frank Morgan) (MGM, 1939)
The Grapes of Wrath (Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell) (20th Century Fox, 1940)
Key Largo (Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall) (Warner Bros., 1948)
The Last Wave (Richard Chamberlain, Olivia Hamnett) (Dist. in the US by World Northal, 1978)
Stalker (Alisa Freyndikh, Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy) (Dist. in the US by Media Transactions, 1982)
