Directed by John Ford

Our library, little but mighty, has a new arrival. Directed by John Ford, by Peter Bogdanovich circa 1971 (restored 2006) is a grand documentary on the career of John Ford.

Chandler and Faulkner

I really enjoyed watching and discussing "The Big Sleep" with the Just Between Frames crowd and a visitor from Murder Among Us. What really surprised me was William Faulkner was a screenwriter for the movie. How cool is that. I cannot wait until Thursday's evenings discussion of the Book!

The coming schedule

What a great meeting Saturday. The Pizza was very good too. Orson Wells, Clint Eastwood and Independent Films focusing on The Directors. It could only be better if Woody Allen, Orson Wells and Clint Eastwood made a movie together staring Merryl Streep and Johnny Depp. Okay, I am teasing one of our wonderful members. Come and join us it will be grand and brilliant fun altogether.
