Barbara Stanwyck at the Film Forum in December 2013!
Good news for anyone in the New York City area: this month the Film Forum is dedicating itself to showing 42 films of the magnificent Barbara Stanwyck. This includes a lot of her pre-Code work, like a double feature of The Miracle Woman and The Bitter Tea of General Yen on the 6th and a double feature of Night Nurse and Baby Face on the 8th. Also on the 6th and 8th are opportunities to meet Victoria Wilson, the author of Steel-True, A Life of Barbara Stanwyck, 1907 to 1940.
I won’t be going (stupid opposite side of the country), but if you do and get a chance to hang with Ms. Wilson, leave me a comment and let me know how it went!
I can’t tell you how much I wish I was in New York right now. Stanwyck is one of my very favorites.
Tell me about it. Those are some sweet movies, and I’ve heard that the prints are usually great. 🙁
I’ve made it a goal to watch all of her movies and have made it through quite a few. But there is nothing like seeing them on the big screen.
Pssst, It’s The BITTER Tea of General Yen.
Well, shit, that would have been a completely different movie. 😀 Thanks for pointing it out!
