A great lineup. Wish I could be there, especially to see The Kid Brother, my favorite Lloyd film. |

Clash of the Wolves... What a fun movie that is. June "Miss Crabtree" Marlowe is the leading lady. |

I haven't seen any of the titles in the line-up, but I'd be there for ALL of them if the opportunity presented itself!!!! |

The only dud is "The Bond," which is just a commercial without a single real laugh. Otherwise, a fabulously entertaining selection. And don't miss "The Mothering Heart," in spite of the title. When you see a Griffith movie on the big screen you realize how great he really was. |
