Doris!
April 13, 2025
We completed tonight a three-film series at the Odd Fellows, our twice annual classic movies treat. It really is a treat: free (though we donate a little something); free popcorn; a pre-film 30 minute folk concert; followed by a pre-film Ted Talk full of fun film facts and Hollywood gossip as only Derrick Bang can deliver; and the presentation of a classic movie projected on a pull down screen as we crank our heads upward while sitting in folding chairs. These are always films I never saw when they came out, but should certainly have seen by now. And that Derrick… he is a deep well of info, presented with nerdy flare.
The Odd Fellows do this in the Fall and Spring of each year, three successive Sundays, 10 or 12 years running now. Whole thing’s a hoot.
Here’s Derrick, himself:
And these are the flicks we saw… all featuring the adorable Doris Day:
