That's right...Clark Gable! Where are you showing these movies?Thanks! That's Daisy the Mutt as Miss October 2012 Doghouse Magazine.Love you avatar!I personally know it gets kinda squirrelly with Browns fans up in East Palestine. I truly feel for Browns fans. I miss the rivalry. But, then again, I'm Pirates fan.Well I gotta say a big howdy to one of the bravest men I know. A Dallas Cowboy fan in the bosom of Steeler Country! SFC Ollie! March on, Sergeant.
For what it's worth, I texted the schedule for Movie Night at the Learning Center to the woman in charge of the Facebook presence of the Learning Center. I changed it from Wednesday at 7:00 to Thursday at 6:30. Too many Wednesday night church services. Who am I to compete with God and Bingo?
So, with a wider audience in sight, I'm swinging for the fences.
Thursday September 5, Humphrey Bogart and Lorene Bacall in To Have and Have Not. "You know how to whistle don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow."
September 12, what I personally consider the sweetest movie ever made, To Kill a Mockingbird.
September 19, melodrama at its best, Joan Crawford as Mildred Pierce. Don't forget about the great character performance of Eve Arden.
On Thursday the 26, Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly in Fred Zinnemann's High Noon.
That's the first month anyway. I am proud to say that the popcorn machine is up and running, well stocked with corn and boxes from which to eat it. So we'll get the fresh popped aroma going for us.
One woman suggested a margarita machine. Wishful thinking, but I like her style.
Small world... thanks for the Cowboy remarks but truth is I can't remember not being a Cowboys fan. And if you draw a line from Cleveland to Pittsburgh I'm right about halfway on that line. And your movies are spot on. As some know I am in my 3rd year as a member of the Circle of Trustees at the Butler Institute of American Art. My favorite painting happens to be a painted Still from "To Have or Have Not". If you ever get a chance to visit the butler it;s on the 2nd floor of the main Gallery, north wall.
I am showing African Queen the same month I'll show Spenser Tracy and Claudette Colbert with Clark Gable in Boomtown. William Powell and Carol Lombard in My Man Godfrey then Myna Loy and Cary Grant in Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House.
The idea is Powell and Loy were Nick and Nora Charles in The Thin Man series. And Hepburn and Tracy were the most beloved couple in the movies. Splitting them up let's you savor their performances in new subtle ways.
Don't forget "It Happened One night with Cary Grant and Claudette Colbert!
I showed It Happened One Night last season. And it's Clark Gable not Cary Grant. Screwball comedy month was February. We saw Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper in Ball of Fire, Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant in Bringing up Baby, and Carole Lombard and Jack Benny in To Be or Not To Be.
