Movie Night at the Opera House: Yankee Doodle Dandy
| Granbury Theatre Company will host a free “Movie Night at the Opera House” on Sunday, July 17 with the showing of Yankee Doodle Dandy starring James Cagney. The 1942 movie, which also stars Joan Leslie and Walter Huston, is a biographical musical film about George M. Cohan – known as “The Man Who Owned Broadway.” The film depicts Cohan coming out of retirement in the early days of World War II to star as President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The president summons Cohan to the White for a presentation of the Congressional Gold Medal, and the two men chat leading Cohan to reminisce about his early days on stage, family, and career. Admission is free, and advance reservations are not necessary. Concessions will also be available. “Movie Night at the Opera House” events will continue throughout the year. Future movies will be a Mel Brooks double feature with Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein (August 21), To Kill a Mockingbird (September 18), Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (October 16), and Star Wars: A New Hope (November 13). |
