Toronto Film Society presents part 3 of 7 Monday Nights with the Stars. Tonights double bill is NEW YORK TIMES 2
SO THIS IS NEW YORK 1948 dir. Richard Fleischer with Henry Morgan, Rudy Valee, Virginia Grey
A rare gem not seen in decades. This smart, cynical and sophisticated comedy stars one of the great radio comedians of the 1930s (Morgan). A small town family moves to New York after inheriting money so the daughter can meet a "better class of people" but meet typical New Yorkers instead (apologizes to all the better classes down there). Ingenious, off-beat script.
TAXI 1953 dir. Gegory Ratoff w. Dan Dailey, Stubby Kaye
NYC cab driver tries to help an Irish immigrant woman with a baby find her husband in the big bad city. Another film not seen in years.
