If we seem (again) to need laughter more than ever, let Carole Lombard, Katharine Hepburn, and even the usually doom-laden Greta Garbo part the clouds for a while, in a spirited collection of classics that personify the art of Hollywood comedy. These queens of Hollywood gave the country hope in hard times, erupting with irrepressible energy and soaring on the sheer joy of personality.

Each screening will be introduced by film critic Robert Horton and include a post-movie discussion that will allow everyone to join the conversation and share our communal love of film.

Katharine Hepburn plays the free-spirited black sheep of a stuffy upper-crust family,

and is resigned to her role—at least until her sister’s fiancé (Cary Grant) arrives, a bit of a free spirit himself.
