The lively St. Patrick's Day crowd on Saturday night enjoyed the twists and turns of this classic Hollywood thriller that established Humphrey Bogart's image as a cynical but sincere tough guy. One lucky patron took home $100 worth of Green, thanks to the 50/50 raffle. This adventure had a happy ending with the showing of The Maltese Falcon at the Redford on March 16-17, 2007.

Althbough I have seen Maltese Falcon enough times to know it by heart, I've never seen it on the big screen. Despite the disappointment caused by the cancellation, I had a great time. Kudos to Greg Sumner whose announcement was appropriately apologetic/mirthful, Tony O'Brien, who I could have listened to for hours, and David Martin for the tour. I had a great time, certainly got my $4 worth and an exchange ticket! I'll be back. Good job! Saturday was my fist foray to the Redford Theatre.

Although everyone was disappointed, a malfunction at the very heart of the Dolby processor prevented the movie from going on as scheduled. For those with inquiring minds, a transistor in the voltage regulating section suddenly had a "thermal event" resulting in damage to surrounding components, It was not possible to bypass the trouble spot or to make repairs with only a few minutes until show time. We will be working on repairs and checking out the rest of the system to be sure that no further damage was done. The audience was wonderfully understanding and many stayed in the theatre to enjoyed the music and take advantage of a chance to find out more about the treasure that is the Redford Theatre.
