Next Carolina Classic Film: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

Alas, I have to work Tuesday nights! My friend Moviezzz cites Frank Capra as one of his favorite film directors. It may amaze those who know me for my love of politics and film that I have yet to see this film!

The Carolina Theatre in Greensboro is an amazing comeback story. It has fully recovered from a major fire that occurred there some 25 years ago. Baltimore's legendary film director John Waters visited the venue in Sept. (see earlier entry).
