A Streetcar Name Desire
With its themes of insanity, rape, domestic violence, homosexuality, sexual obsession, and female promiscuity "Streetcar' would be controversial today. One can only wonder how "Streetcar" made it to the screen in 1951. What do you think? One of the greatest films ever, or?

A Letter to Three Wives
Hope you didn't miss this one. It was a great little slice of life. Our local girl made good, Ann Sothern wears the pants and her husband (Kirk Douglas) is an English Teacher.
Who said the Career woman is a recent innovation?
Quote of the week:
George Phipps: The purpose of radio writing, as far as I can see, is to prove to the masses that a deodorant can bring happiness... a mouth wash guarantee success and a laxative attract romance.

True Grit
What a smashing start to Nostalgia Night 2008.
Did you know that John Wayne fell in love with the horse that he rode at the end of True Grit? He rode the same horse through several more westerns, including his final movie, The Shootist.
If you enjoyed the movie you might like the novel True Grit by Charles Portis.

A few comments from Nostalgia Night 2007
About the films
• Your choice of films had a great variety. I especially liked Double Indemnity and East of Eden
• I plan to purchase season tickets next year. I loved them all. I started with Brief Encounter and a free ticket. My friend and I have seen the rest and love them all
• Great excellent selections; Stagecoach
• Only caught To Sir with Love and Harvey and loved them both
• We really enjoyed Notorious. My husband liked 12 O'Clock high & I enjoyed Brief Encounter
• Loved all of them
• Great line up and variety. The war documentary type was my least favorite
• Most were good - enjoyed Funny Girl the most.
• I enjoyed all the films. I had not seen them before. It was a good variety. I like any musicals, westerns
• Loved them all! I'm a sucker for these kind of movies
• I loved them all! My favorites were Funny Girl, East of Eden, 12 O'Clock high, and To Sir, With Love
• Always a wonderful choice
• The Elks theatre is a great venue for showing these classic movies
• Enjoy the large screen and old movie house appeal
• It is what a movie theater is supposed to be also nostalgic
• I like the 60's & 70's movies and musicals
• All of the films were enjoyable - I especially liked East of Eden
• The musical with Barbra Streisand.
• The films are always wonderful! My favorites this year were Notorious, Twelve O'Clock High, Double Indemnity and To Sir, With Love (best)
• I enjoy them all!
• I didn't get to all, but prefer lighter films, with comedy and or music, to the heavy dramas. For me, this is Sunday night relaxation!
• Each different, all good
• I enjoyed them all. A great selection!
• We like all the films especially Harvey, Funny Girl and To Sir With Love
