We have a few films that include World War I as part of the plot this month. This includes one that seems to show up just about every month. All times here are Central.

–The Dark Angel, (1935). Described as “Three childhood friends are torn apart by love and World War I.” Clearly an unbeatable combination. Stars Frederic March and Merle Oberon. Airs at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday morning March 6th.

–After Tonight, (1933.) Described as “A female Russian spy falls for the enemy during WWI.” Stars Constance Bennett and Gilbert Roland. Airs at 12:00 Noon on Wednesday, March 6th.

–Inside the Lines, (1930.) During World War I, German spies stop at nothing to spy on the allied war plans stored at Gibraltar. Stars Betty Compson, Ralph Forbes, and Montagu Love. Airs at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday, March 19th.

And the film that appears almost monthly? That’s right, it’s . . .

-Doctor Zhivago, (1965). The David Lean film with Omar Sharif and Alec Guinness. Airs at 12:30 p.m. Monday, March 25th.
