You'll feel like dancing on the ceiling when leaving Brand Park after attending our screening of That's Entertainment! on Saturday, August 23, the next presentation in our series of Classic Films Under the Stars. The film was a box office smash when it opened in 1974. Jack Haley Jr. conceived the idea of doing a compilation film of MGM’s greatest music and dance numbers from the 20s through the 50s, considered the Golden Age of the American musical.  Hosted by a raft of MGM stars including Mickey Rooney, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, it’s a non-stop treat for the eyes and ears. Featuring memorable performances by: Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Jane Powell, Cyd Charisse, Joan Crawford, Cary Grant, Mickey Rooney, Jimmy Durante, Donald O'Connor, The Nicholas Brothers, Bing Crosby, Maurice Chevalier and Leslie Caron - just to name a few. 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 shortly after 7:30 PM. Please bring blankets, lawn or beach chairs for seating, and plenty of water or soft drinks to stay hydrated. 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. 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

The third season of our Summer series of monthly screenings under the stars got off to a great start with the showing of Disney's Lady and the Tramp - and the impressive turnout included a large number of dogs in the audience - see a photo of the early crowd below. Up next on July 26: Billy Wilder's definitive film noir classic from 1944. Double Indemnity, starring Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and Edward G. Robinson, with a screenplay by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, adapted from the novel by James M. Cain. Few films arrive with such an impressive pedigree, and Double Indemnity has only improved over time. If you've already seen it, take the opportunity to watch with fresh eyes and focus on the amazing B&W cinematography by John F. Seitz, and Edith Head's slinky costumes for Stanwyck. The series continues on Saturday, August 23.  Instead of presenting one great MGM musical, we'll show favorite sequences from virtually ALL of them in 1974's That's Entertainment!.
