Do you like to chat about movies? Participants view each film on their own and then join a group discussion and critique via Zoom. Movies are selected through discussion and a decision of Chat participants. Join the Movie Chat and bring your recommendations! This week’s movies will be:
For Me and My Gal - rated 7.0/10 (1942)
Two vaudeville performers fall in love, but WW I intervenes. Harry deliberately injures his hand to avoid the draft, but he later makes up for it.
• Director: Busby Berkeley
• Stars: Judy Garland, George Murphy and Gene Kelly
A Night at the Opera - rated 7.8/10 (1935)
The Marx Brothers take on high society. Two lovers–both in opera, are prevented from being together by the man's lack of acceptance as a tenor. Pulling typical Marx Brothers' stunts, they arrange for the young lover to get his chance.
• Directors: Sam Wood and Edmund Goulding
• Stars: Groucho Marx, Chico Marx and Harpo Marx
Copies of these movies are usually available on DVD at the Edgewater Branch library for checkout with your library card or you can watch them online through a streaming service of your choice.
