CLASSIC MOVIE CLUB SPECIAL EVENT
The CLASSIC MOVIE CLUB presents:
Bi-monthly screenings on Friday afternoons of Oscar winning or nominated films shown on a giant screen in high definition using only restored and remastered Blu-ray discs.
On Friday, December 1, 2023 at 4:00 pm in the Santa Rosa Clubhouse’s Monterey Room, the club will present:
“WOMAN OF THE YEAR” – the 1942 romantic comedy directed by George Stevens, produced by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, and starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. This was Tracy’s and Hepburn’s first film. They became romantically involved during its production, and went on to make eight more films together.
Woman of the Year was written by Michael Kanin and Ring Lardner Jr. At the 15th Academy Awards, they both won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and Katharine Hepburn was nominated for Best Actress.
After the screening, Josh Kanin (son of co-screenwriter Michael Kanin) will talk about his father’s work on the film. He will also bring the Oscar statuette that his father received.
Club membership is not required to attend our free bi-monthly screenings. For additional information, contact the club’s co-leaders -- Josh Kanin (310-980-0747) or Bill Hooper (310-293-9597)
