Anne Bancroft Month

Members  April is here and we have already had our movieclub supper.  Although we were to have a big group  the cold and flu season is still here.and on Saturday they were dropping like flies. we had six for dinner and a movie.  For all those who were not here we did something different, we watched the director's cut of the film.  It was the film the Thomas Crown Affair.  as the director speaks over the film telling blow by blow how he shot certain scenes and where he attained some of the props for the film you would find this interesting. ( I did! )  We did a light buffet supper in the barn while we watched the film, always fun.The Month of May is Anne Bancroft Month,  here is a little something you may not know about her, she was Italian she changed her name for the stage, she is one of only I believe  of twleve women to win a academy, golden globe and an emmy.  She was married for forty one years to Mel Brooks when ever he would get home and open the door to their apartment she would say oh good now the fun begins.   The two films we are suggesting is Fatso (this film she wrote and directed and produced and starred in.  The second is your choice some suggestions Garbo Talks, The Graduate, The Turning Point, one other I just remembered the part of Nicole Kidman's mother in Malice it is a small part but very juicey! Keeping the Faith,I am sure there are .    many more that my  brain is missing at this moment you get the picture I hope you will be able to join us for the next supper club we do not have a date set we will let you know.  hope to see you at the movies  movielynne
