Comments on: Christmas in the 1940s http://detroitmoviepalaces.com/blog/2007/12/11/christmas-in-the-1940s/ The Film Programs of the Detroit Film Theatre, Michigan Theater and Redford Theatre Sun, 06 Jul 2008 06:52:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Administrator http://detroitmoviepalaces.com/blog/2007/12/11/christmas-in-the-1940s/#comment-2449 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 15:44:14 +0000 http://detroitmoviepalaces.com/blog/2007/12/11/christmas-in-the-1940s/#comment-2449 Thanks for the nice comments about the photos. I was waiting for the DIA renovation to finish before posting any photos so that the DFT would look as good as the other theaters. It's interesting how each theater uses arches in its designs, both inside and outside the theaters. Also, I saw <em>The Bishop's Wife</em> at the Penn, and there was Karolyn Grimes again, as the daughter of David Niven and Loretta Young.  The movie also had Bobby Anderson, who played the young George Bailey in <em>It's a Wonderful Life</em>.     Thanks for the nice comments about the photos.

I love "It's A Wonderful Life" I've seen it so many times and I never get tired of it. I even met Zuzu (Karolyn Grimes) at the Redford a few years back. It was an exciting night meeting her because I love the movie so much. I'm also please to see you mention the Penn! A great place to see a film too. Lastly, I love the front page of your web site. Having photos of the places you feature is very nice. However, the DIA really needs a marquee to dress things up a bit. (ha-ha) It is such a beautiful theater on the inside and it has always been a mystery to me why they don't have a cool marquee. I agree with you 1940’s Christmas movies are awesome.
