Details

• Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure
• Plot: HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940) This hilarious reworking of The Front Page adds the twin allures of sex and romance. The film moves at a whirlwind speed, much like the news world it depicts and is undoubtedly Cary Grant's greatest comedic role. (B/W • 91 minutes); ; CHARADE (1963) Reggie (Audrey Hepburn) finds her husband dead and a gang of croaks searching for a fortune which they're convinced she is hiding. Cary Grant comes to her aid, but as one crook after another is murdered, Hepburn finds it hard to distinguish the good guys from the bad. (Color • 113 minutes) ; ; OUR TOWN(1940) Meet the citizens of Grayer's Corner, a small New Hampshire town, as they face the large and small questions of life. This classic film adaptation of Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize winning drama stars a young William Holden (Sunset Boulevard) and Martha Scott, who was nominated for on Oscar, for this, her first film. (B/W • 90 minutes); ; LIFE WITH FATHER (1941) William Powell earned his third Oscar nomination for the role of Clarence Day, the cantankerous paterfamilias of a redheaded clan. Based on a hit Broadway comedy, it was one of the top box office drams of 1947, earned four Oscar nominations, and features the charm of young Elizabeth Taylor and Irene Dunne. (Color • 118 minutes); ; LOVE AFFAIR (1939) Michel Marnet (Charles Boyer) asks true loveTerry McKay (Irene Dunne) for some time to prove himself worthy of her. They plan to meet in months at the top of the Empire State Building, but a heart-breaking occident keeps Terry away, threatening to keep the lovers apart for ever. (8/w • 89 minutes) ; ; A STAR IS BORN (1931) Esther Blodgett is just another starry-eyed farm girl trying to break into the movies. While working as a waitress at a Hollywood party, she catches the eye of alcoholic star Norman Main and is later given a screen test. From there she's caught up in the Hollywood glamour machine (which is ruthlessly satirized in the film). She and her idol Norman marry...but his career abruptly dwindles to nothing as hers takes off. (Color • 111 minutes); ; OF HUMAN BONDAGE (1934) The obsessive love held by Philip (Leslie Howard) for a self-centered Cockney waitress (Bette Davis) will undo his chances of happiness, unless he can estop their bond. Bette Davis’ performance in Of Human Bondage was such a standout that when the Motion Picture Academy failed to nominate her for an Oscar, the ensuing outcry led to the creation of a write-in option on that year’s ballot. (B/W • 83 minutes); ; MY MAN OODFRE (1936) In this classic screwball comedy, Godfrey (William Powell) is king in the city dump when he is rescued by a wealthy scatter-brain (Carole Lombard) and turned into the family butler. (B/W • 95 minutes);
