A note for anyone who may have looked at an earlier version of the lineup: THE WILD PARTY (1929), originally scheduled for March 5th, did not make the final schedule.
Among the films being shown I'm particularly fond of THE BARRETTS OF WIMPOLE STREET and the romantic comedies THERE GOES MY HEART and BEDTIME STORY. ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN is also quite a lovely movie about the life of a dedicated minister.

Anthony Adverse has a foreword or preface of about 18 minutes, and the leading man in the segment is Louis Hayward playing opposite Anita Louise with Claude Rains as his antagonist. It made a star of Hayward..
ReplyDeleteMarch, according to my late dad, was the favourite of my namesake (Paddy) grandfather. Therefore, March was a favourite, along with Tracy and Guinness, of my dad, and he passed along that admiration to his daughters.
ReplyDeleteThe tipping point for my daughter joining the club was showing her Nothing Sacred last year upon yet another viewing of Inherit the Wind. We're going to have fun this month. And it will be easier to keep track thanks to you, Laura.
ANTHONY ADVERSE is a film I really need to catch up with -- marvelous cast. I particularly enjoy Anita Louise and am glad to have her sequence with Louis Hayward pointed out, I'll keep that in mind regarding future viewing.
