Summer Classic Film Festival 2018

The Summer Classic Film Festival returns to The Ritz Theatre July 13-15 with a full weekend of films from 1939. The weekend kicks off on 6:30 p.m. Friday with a discussion of “1939: The Year of the Movie,” followed by a screening of the ground-breaking western, “Destry Rides Again.” On Saturday at 3:00 p.m. watch the catty, brilliantly acted, fast-paced farce “The Women,” while you enjoy cookies and punch. Then take a break to grab a special film dinner at one of the participating downtown restaurants, then return for “The Wizard of Oz” at 7:00 p.m. Set aside Sunday afternoon for a trip to Tara, complete with the option of having a “Taste of the South” intermission meal served up by Indigo Coastal Shanty, as part of the 3:00 p.m. screening of “Gone With the Wind.” Meal reservations for "Taste of the South" must be made by July 10.  Go to goldenisles.com to see pricing information and order tickets.
