Classic Films Under the Stars – 2025

Classic Films Under the Stars

The third season of our Summer series of monthly screenings under the stars in Glendale’s Brand Park commences Saturday, June 28th with Walt Disney’s animated classic from 1955, Lady and the Tramp, the first animated feature produced in Cinemascope. Peggy Lee not only provided voices for several characters, but also co-wrote all of the songs, and sang three of them. We’ll start the evening with Chuck Workman’s Oscar-winning short, Precious Images, an unforgettable assembly of close to 500 clips, summarizing the history of American film – in a very concise eight minutes.

The series continues on Saturday, July 26 with Billy Wilder’s film noir classic Double Indemnity, starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and Edward G. Robinson. Instead of presenting one great MGM musical for our August 23 entry, we’ll show favorite sequences from virtually ALL of them in 1974’s That’s Entertainment!. The series will conclude on September 27 with Blake Edwards’ The Pink Panther Strikes Again from 1976, with Peter Sellers returning as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau.

These outdoor screenings will be presented on the expansive lawn of the historic Doctors House in Brand Park. Admission is free. Gates will open at 6:00 PM to allow time for picnicking and socializing before the program begins at 7:30 PM. Please bring blankets, lawn or beach chairs for seating, and plenty of water or soft drinks to stay hydrated.

The series is a presentation of Alex Film Society, The Glendale Historical Society, the Northwest Glendale Homeowner’s Association, G&C Properties and Brand Associates, with generous support provided by the City of Glendale’s Arts and Culture Commission and Community Services & Parks.
