Greetings! Film pals
PRAISE CINEMA!
Looking for plans this Saturday? Join us for a double feature!
SATURDAY
Free Library of Philadelphia and MovieJawn present Nicholas Ray's 1954 western classic, Johnny Guitar with special guest, Joan Crawford's grandson, Casey LaLonde.
Join us Saturday, April 25 at Parkway Central Branch Library beginning at noon for a meet and greet with Casey and MovieJawn staff. At 1pm, follow us to the Montgomery Auditorium for a special presentation of Johnny Guitar with an introduction from Casey and a Q&A to follow moderated by MovieJawn's Editor in Chief, Rosalie Kicks. SNAG YOUR FREE TICKET HERE
Casey will also be sharing a rare collection of Joan Crawford's home movies compliments of the Crawford estate. Description from Ambler Theater: These home movies (ca. 1940–42) present that which one rarely gets to see: a larger-than-life personality at home, unadorned, just being herself — and often in color, at a time when her feature films were black and white. Crawford filmed most of the home movies herself; when she is on camera, it is unclear who is behind it. SNAG YOUR FREE TICKET HERE
After watching Johnny Guitar follow us to Oaks Center Cinema for a 16mm presentation of The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai compliments of Sidetrackd16. Snag your tickets here
