About
Pick of the Litter: The Phenomenon of Feline Film Star, Orangey Join Doreen Marshall, a dancer, costume designer, and aficionado of the films of the Golden Age of Hollywood to view and discuss four superb films featuring an in-demand tabby cat who appeared in many classic films and TV shows in the 1950's and 1960's. On October 23, we will watch Gigot (1962). This little-known poignant comedy, filmed in Paris, concerns a resilient, mute homeless man who navigates the townspeople's constant taunting and abuse with his happy-go-lucky nature. A friendship between the hobo and a waif causes both joy and strife.
