Directed by Howard Hawks. Starring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy. Perfect - and possibly the fastest, smartest comedy on record. Grant & Russell in no-holds-barred performances. Machine-gun dialogue written by Ben Hecht & Charles Lederer. Plus a supporting cast that reads like a "who's who" of comedy.
Speaker: Lynne Bond, actor, producer and film historian

Starring Cary Grant & Myrna Loy. New York City couple builds a house in the country. Easier said than done. More Cary at his best and nobody ever described room colors better than Loy.

Directed by Orson Welles. Starring Joseph Cotton, Dolores Costello, Anne Baxter, Tim Holt. Another masterpiece from Welles. Brilliant drama based on Booth Tarkington novel of family unwilling to change its way of life with the times. Follow-up to "Citizen Kane" is equally powerful film-making and Welles' voice throughout.
Speaker: Foster Hirsch, author & professor of film, Brooklyn College
