Plot Synopsis

Each Saturday night -- except during February and early March when Turner Classic Movies presents its 31 DAYS OF OSCAR -- host Robert Osborne and a co-host introduce a hand-picked classic film and offer commentary on its cultural relevance and what makes it a timeless, must-see movie.

In THE ESSENTIALS' 15th season, which started on Saturday, March 7, 2015 at 8pm ET/5pm PT on TCM, Osborne and new co-host Sally Field presented movie classics, including a mixture of enduring dramas, sparkling comedies, and contemporary gems (all movies start at 8pm ET/5pm PT).
