Movie Group Returns in an Experimental Format
#1 We will meet at 10 AM Thursday, September the 15th. We will have coffee and appropriate snacks. Masks will be worn except when eating or drinking.
#2 We will try this without any zoom link. Some folks have indicated some difficulty with discussion when zoom is involved. It is an experiment!
#3 We suggest a film available on Netflix free, a film on the TCM network (Spectrum channel 58) or “wildcard” choice you have seen at any location that you wish to discuss.
On Netflix (free). A Call to Spy is a 2019 American historical drama film written and produced by Sarah Megan Thomas and directed by Lydia Dean Pilcher. The film is inspired by the true stories of three women who worked as spies in World War II. It stars Sarah Megan Thomas, Radhika Apte , and Stana Katic. After France falls to the Nazis, these women seek to support the war effort by spying for a secret agency under Churchill. Based on a true story.
Along with the Netflix film suggested above, we urge you to view a Turner Classic Movie, “Double Indemnity”, showing on TCM at 7:00 pm on September 3rd. This 1944 film noir/crime drama is considered one of the finest Hollywood films ever, with stellar performances by Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson. It got 7 Academy Award nominations. The film will also be available for streaming on the “watchtcm.com” app any time after Sept. 3rd. Viewing this film allows us to discuss not only three fine performances, but to experience the long-gone studio system that produced the films known world-wide. If there is sufficient interest in TCM we might consider a Zoom or in-person group, or even a class, making use of the TCM format.
Please consider joining us for a lively discussion of any or all the choices we have suggested. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15TH AT 10 AM IN THE SWAN ROOM.
