This web site’s co-sponsorship of the movie Christmas in Connecticut (1945) at the Michigan Theater on November 29, 2009 was the climax of a week of quality moviegoing at the Michigan that helped justify my investment in the theater.

Before the showing of my most favorite Redford Theatre movie on Nov. 6, 2009—the 1964 musical My Fair Lady—I treated myself to the 1956 soundtrack from the stage show that starred Rex Harrison and a young (21-year-old) Julie Andrews. The music of the film is so strongly ingrained in my senses that it’s easy to forget that the stage recording is the version of the musical that people came to know and love for almost a decade before the story hit the big screen.
