About us
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!

Let's discuss GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES (1953) and Marilyn Monroe!
·OnlineOnlineWe're kicking on the new year with a fun and entertaining musical, and celebrating the 100th birthday of Marilyn Monroe.
Based on the bestselling novel by Anita Loos, which became both a popular Broadway play and musical, the film tells the story of "two little girls from Little Rock". Dorothy Shaw and Lorelei Lee are a cabaret duo; both are looking for love but one is distracted by diamonds. These determined women take us on an adventure-filled cruise to France that includes not just love, but a missing tiara, an all male Olympic team, a pink dress, and a visit to a Paris courtroom.
Directed by Howard Hawks, with Jane Russell as Dorothy and Marilyn Monroe as Lorelei, supported by Charles Coburn, Elliot Reid, Tommy Noonan, and George Winslow as the gentlemen.
Watch the film then join us for a lively discussion. The Zoom link will appear on this page after you RSVP.
The film can be streamed for a fee on Amazon, Apple, Google, Youtube, and Fandango and for free at archive.org using the following link (note: the description is partially in French but the film streams in English): https://archive.org/details/gentlemen-prefer-blondes-195323 attendees
