A while back, Andie told us about the Turner Classics Movies magazine called Now Playing. Her comment was so positive about it, that I subscribed. I’m glad I did! I watch a lot of old movies, and this guide has helped me to check out, in advance, all of the movies the TCM channel is going to be playing any given month. I actually use a highlighter when going through the descriptions.
Recently, Andie wrote me to tell me that she thought some of us might enjoy a movie that will be airing early tomorrow morning, Wednesday, June 27, 2012. It’s called Haunted Honeymoon, and stars Robert Montgomery (yes, he’s Bewitched’s Elizabeth Montgomery’s dad) and Constance Cummings. It is based on the Dorothy L. Sayer‘s Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery Series.
This movie has Lord Peter Wimsey (Robert Montgomery) finally marrying Harriet Vane (Constance Cummings). It is based on the Dorothy L. Sayers 1937 mystery book called Busman’s Honeymoon.
I’ve already set up my taping device!
Thank you, Andie!
Loretta says
Thanks for the heads up. I just finished setting up my PVR to record it.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
I hope you enjoy it, Loretta. I’m looking forward to watching it!
Donna says
I’m a classic film fan too and I haven’t seen this one yet! Thanks for posting. Robert Montgomery is soooo dreamy, it’s too bad they don’t make men like that anymore.

Love my old, black and white movies! I know this will date me, but “They certainly don’t make them like they used to!”
*Susan says
Doesn’t ‘date’ you at all. I’m in my late 30’s and I couldn’t agree more!!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
*Susan, before we left home on this little vacation, I set up our DVR of choice to tape a whole lot of black and white movies that I found through that TCM guide (Andie told us about it a while back). As soon as I get my monthly guide, I go through it and highlight everything that looks good… which in my case, turns out to be a lot of movies.
Tori Lennox says
Oooo! Thanks for the heads up! I just set the DVR. 🙂
Ann Philipp says
Thanks! I got it set up to record, too.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Ann, I recorded it also, and probably will start it as soon as I finish my current Fred Astaire/George Murphy movie.
Marie says
Thank you – all set!!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Marie, I am so glad Andie contacted me about telling everyone about this movie!
Deb says
Me too, me too. I LOVE Lord Peter and Harriet. The Lord Peters were about the first books I bought for my NOOK – both Dorothy Sayers and the new ones by Jill Paton Walsh. She’s done a splendid job of continuing the series.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Deb, all of us watching these movies and reading these books… Must say a lot about why these authors are truly classics!
KeLLy aNN says
Have you heard about the cruise in January of 2013???

Danna - cozy mystery list says
KeLLyaNN, they mentioned the TCM cruise in the Now Playing, and I visited the site just to see what all they will be doing. Sounds like fun.
Kath says
Shoot, just read this when the email came in this morning and it’s half over :/ maybe next time!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
I’m sorry, Kath. Next time I write about a show, I’ll try to write it a few days ahead of when it airs.
Nita R says
I found the first 2 books “Whose Body” and “Clouds of Witness” free download at http://manybooks.net/authors/sayersd.html
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thanks, Nita R!
Denise says
Thanks for the heads up – I enjoyed the movie this morning with a nice cuppa.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Denise, I started the movie this morning, and hope to be able to finish it tonight. It always seems odd when some of the actors have distinctly British accents, while some don’t. They simply didn’t worry about such technicalities back then… (I’m still enjoying it, though.)
Marie says
My husband and I enjoyed “Haunted Honeymoon” which we had never watched before. We have a DVR( from Mediacom). It is well worth the cost. Thank you
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Marie, I thought “Haunted Honeymoon” was a lot of fun. I had never watched it before, either.
Kathie says
Well, I missed it! And the DVD/VHS isn’t available through netflix or amazon. Anyone know where I could get a copy? I’d love to see it! Always wanted to see Busman’s Honeymoon made into a movie.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Kathie, I looked for it when I wrote the entry, and couldn’t find it anywhere. Hopefully someone else will know something that can help you…
pat says
I missed the June showing of Haunted Honeymoon. How can I find out when it will be shown again?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
I’m sorry, Pat, but I don’t know exactly how. Maybe you could search for it on the Turner Classic Movies channel?
