Event Details
(Re)discover the oldies but goodies of classic Hollywood. A monthly screening followed by discussion. Showtime is at 10:00am every third Thursday.
This month we’re watching His Girl Friday (1940), a screwball comedy film directed by Howard Hawks, starring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy and Gene Lockhart. When a newspaper editor's ace reporter ex-wife is about to quit her job and remarry, he buys himself time to win her back by promising her an exclusive interview with a death row convict. The film was #19 on American Film Institute's 100 Years ... 100 Laughs and was selected in 1993 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
