A Star Is Born (1937) plus ---

---a classic comedy and two programmers:

It's Love I'm After (1937) Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Leslie Howard, Eric Blore. Screwball comedy about stage actors, fans, obsession, love and mix ups galore. Great cast 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029058/

My Dear Miss Aldrich (1937) Maureen O"Sullivan, Walter Pigeon, Edna May Oliver. Small town girl inherits big town newspaper. Editor thinks women in the newsroom are an abomination. Some fun but it probably was the lower half of a double bill. Oliver steals the show. 6/10

A Star Is Born (1937) Janet Gaynor, Fredric March. My favorite version of this story. The original. Great performances by all hands, with an especially nasty one by Lionel Stander as Matt Libby, the publicity man. Mean as a junk yard dog to Norman Maine, who has had to be extricated from one too many benders by Matt, and he resents it and gets even, at last. The final scenes never fail to bring me to tears, and Gaynor as Esther (Vicky Lester) superb; head high, catch in the voice, tears in the eyes, saying "This is Mrs. Norman Maine." What an end! Perfect for me - so...10/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029606/

Ride Lonesome (1959) Randolph Scott, Karen Black, Parnell Roberts, James Coburn. Slow, boring Scott western, probably a programmer to be paired with another "b" or two on the bill. Bounty hunter Scott, takes his man in the first 10 minutes and from there it is a question of how many obstacles the story puts in the way of getting him to the hangman. Scenery is great - using the wide screen photography to emphasize the empty expanses of the locale and the huge rock formations in the foothills of mountains. That also shows the relation of man to the hugeness of the west - it is a wonder and scary. The director does a good job of bringing this fact out with his choice of scenes. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053220/

I'm behind on my comments. It's just too pretty outside to be watching films during the daytime. My Maple tree is glorious. The workmen are about through with the preliminaries and will start putting down the hard surface for the hike/bike trail tomorrow or next Monday, for sure. They have cut away some of the smaller trees and underbrush so the river can be seen from the trail in places. Great to watch it become reality, we've waited so long.
