06/03 - The Group (1966) 16mm/Sound
It's 1933, and eight young women are friends and members of the upper- class group at a private girl's school, about to graduate and start their own lives. The film documents the years between their graduation and the beginning of the World War in Europe, and shows, in a serialized style, their romances and marriages, their searches for careers or meaning in their lives, their highs and their lows.
Director: Sidney Lumet
Writers: Mary McCarthy (novel), Sidney Buchman (screenplay)
Stars: Candice Bergen, Joan Hackett and Elizabeth Hartman
06/10 - Summer of '42 (1971) 16mm/Sound
Silent as a painting, the movie shows us day-dreamer Hermie and his friends Oscy and Benjie spending the summer of '42 on an US island with their parents - rather unaffected by WWII. While Oscy's main worries are the when and how of getting laid, Hermie honestly falls in love with the older Dorothy, who's married to an army pilot. When her husband returns to the front, Hermie shyly approaches her.
Director: Robert Mulligan
Writer: Herman Raucher
Stars: Jennifer O'Neill, Gary Grimes and Jerry Houser
06/17 - College (1927) 8mm/Silent/Musical Accompaniment
Ronald's high school valedictory address praises books and condemns sports. His girlfriend Mary condemns his attitude. He fears losing her to rival Jeff, decides to go to college and pay more attention to sports.
Director: James W. Horne, Buster Keaton
Writers: Carl Harbaugh (story), Bryan Foy (story)
Stars: Buster Keaton, Anne Cornwall and Flora Bramley
06/24 - Of Human Bondage (1934) Super 8/Sound
Sensitive, club-footed artist Philip Carey is an Englishman who has been studying painting in Paris for four years. His art teacher tells him his work lacks talent, so he returns to London to become a medical doctor, but his moodiness and chronic self-doubt make it difficult for him to keep up in his schoolwork.
Philip falls passionately in love with vulgar, illiterate tearoom waitress Mildred Rogers, even though she is disdainful of his club-foot and his obvious interest in her. 'Of Human Bondage' is widely regarded by critics as the film that made Bette Davis a star.
Director: John Cromwell
Writers: W. Somerset Maugham (novel), Lester Cohen (screenplay)
Stars: Bette Davis, Leslie Howard and Frances Dee
