Let's meet in front of the theater or on the line at 12:45. I will post what I am wearing to help you find me. The film starts at 1:15. This is a Film Noir double feature. The ticket price includes both films.
Afterwards, we will go for a short stroll in the neighborhood to see some vinatge NEON! The Grand Lake Theater has an iconic sign and there are some others in the neighborhood. And then we will have an after gathering somewhere somewhere in the neighborhood for some drinks and possibly food.
Here is an interesting article about neon in the neighborhood. Neon
Films:
HUMORESQUE
1:15, PM
John Garfield and Joan Crawford make the screen crackle as a gifted violinist and his patroness who fall in love. The passion that drives the violinist sours, however, when Crawford’s character begins to exert her will in domineering and detrimental ways. A profoundly affecting film with an awe-inspiring score.
YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN
3:45 PM
Kirk Douglas delivers one of his fiercest performances as a trumpet prodigy who lives for his music, but his arrogance (and alcohol) threaten to ruin him. Doris Day is the loyal singer whose love is unrequited and Lauren Bacall is the woman he craves but can’t comprehend. A study in wasted potential.
