moviesrgr8 Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Was just wondering if any of you old movie buffs were planning on attending the Glenn Ford Film Festival in Gloversville, NY on June 5th - 8th??? :-) Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviejoe79 Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I haven't heard about it Mary - and although I'm not really a Glenn Ford fan, I wouldn't mind seeing "Pocketful of Miracles," on the big screen. Can you give us any more info? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansi4 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Just watched Mr. Ford on TCM in "The Fastest Gun Alive" on TCM and he was quite effective. I recall that he was my Aunt Grace's favorite actor while I was growing up and we saw "Blackboard Jungle" together at the movies. It's one of his best roles as the frustrated teacher. I won't be in Brooklyn, New York until July otherwise I would have went to his tribute in June in honor of my beloved aunt. Mongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviesrgr8 Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 Of course I will, Moviejoe!! Please forgive my tardiness but this dumb system only accepts perhaps my every 10th attempt to use the system. The GFFF will be held in Gloversville, NY (home of Samuel Goldwyn) from June 5th - 8th, 2003. (Gloversville is about 45 minutes from Albany). They are planning on screening Pocketful of Miracles and Gilda, too. Anne Francis will be in attendance as well as Peter Ford, son of Glenn and Eleanor Powell. For more info, go to www.glennfordonline.com. But note that the date for the GFFF is incorrectly listed on the site. Hope this is helpful. :-) Mary P.S. Moviejoe, if you know anyone who wants to go, let me know because I could use a roommate. I already booked my room at the only hotel in town. Everyone else from the GFFF is staying there, too.

moviejoe79 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Thanks for the info, moviesrgr8 - I'd love to go but I'm not sure if I can because of work, and plus it is a real hike for me from Long Island. Does Glenn himself plan on attending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
