Sobre nosotros
We are a group of passionate fans of classic movies (say films that are 25 years old minimum, with emphasis on 1920s-1960s). We started as a local fan club for Turner Classic Movies, and we still keep in close touch with other TCM fans. We plan outings for most of the Fathom/Turner Classic Movies Big Screen Classics series, but also take in other classic film screenings at local cinemas, and always go out for refreshments and discussion after. We recently met Eddie Muller at the Noir City Boston festival in June 2019, and have gathered to appreciate one of our own members curated compilation of 'best of' film clips. We encourage anyone to join us who loves classic film or just wants to explore what films they've missed!

A Face in the Crowd (1957)
·En líneaEn líneaJanuary 20, 2026 was 100th birthday of actress Patricia Neal. Actor Andy Griffith's 100th birthday will be celebrated on June 1, 2026. Luckily for us they left behind 66 film roles between them, including the only film in which they co-starred, this month's viewing A Face in the Crowd.
The story plucks an ignorant guitar-playing hillbilly from an Arkansas jail and converts him in a short space of time to America’s most popular and beloved television personality. He is in private life an unsavory character, a libertine and an opportunist with loyalty to no one but himself. He enters the political arena, becomes aligned with an ‘isolationist’ senator, and pitches an extreme reactionary philosophy. (Rotten Tomatoes)
Along with Neal and Griffith there are strong performances from supporting cast members Anthony Franciosa, Lee Remick (making her film debut), and Walter Matthau in a rare non-comedic roles.
