Cemetery Film Screenings - Sullivan's Travels - August 27th

[Alex]

Follow it up with O Brother, Where Are Thou? or My Man Godfrey, which also provides a glimpse at how Hollywood thought about the Depressoin.

I've always preferred The Lady Eve over Sullivan's Travels. But then I'll also take Barbara Stanwyck over Veronica Lake.

Do they have a separate viewing area for these screenings or is it in the actual cemetery with the graves?

You aren't sitting amongst headstones, there is a large empty grass area with a large wall at one end. But it's pretty much in the middle of the grounds, with graves all around you.

Both of those films would make a good double feature with Sullivan's Travels, but I can't imagine sitting on the cold, dead ground much longer than we do.

As GD said, we're not "on" the graves but next to them and they screen the films on the side of a mausoleum. Johnny Ramone watches the films with us and Mel Blanc wishes us good night with a cheery "That's all folks!". It is wonderfullt creepy and fantastic.

And Barbara vs Veronica......Barbara was the better actor, but Veronica was dreamy!.

Yeesh, I wished I lived in California, this seems so creepy that it has to be awesome.
