The Stiff-Legged Film Festival Society welcomes you to GENE HACKMAN IN THE '70S

Post by: Chris

Hello all!

Welcome to the first post of this year's event: "Gene Hackman In the '70s." Anyone who attends the fest is welcome to drop some thoughts and impressions here, as they happen.

Right now, we're watching "I Never Sang For My Father," the 1970 film based on a play. It's pretty good so far -- very "GE Playhouse Presents" in style, lots of monologues. Because of pre-fest prep work, we missed the first 30 minutes, but the emotions are pretty self-evident, and we're learning as we go.

Gotta run....they're picking out caskets now.

  2. What happens when you’re a Chicago culture cop sent to Albany Park to bust an unlicensed screening ring and

    --you can't read schedules
    --the parking cops hate you
    --your own people have set up on the best seat on the couch?

    YOU EXPLODE!!!
