Another Academy Award winner,
The Quiet Man (11 July), stars John
Wayne as pugilist Sean who falls
in love with passionate Mary Kate
(Maureen O’Hara) in an Irish town.
“It’s got wonderful life to it –
more life in it than a lot of movies
these days,” says Bill.
The Jolson Story (18 July) from
1946 chronicles the life of famed
performer Al Jolson (starring Larry
Parks and Evelyn Keyes) and is one
of the most successful films Bill has
presented on Foxtel.
“It gets an enormous following.
It’s an extraordinary motion picture.”
Round out the month with 1941’s
Belle Starr (25 July) with Gene
Tierney as the eponymous outlaw
queen and Randolph Scott and Dana
Andrews as her suitors. It’s another
example of the “outstanding,
exciting and innovative” movies of
Hollywood’s golden age, says Bill.
Settle in for a month of classic
Saturday nights beginning with
Academy Award winner, 1961’s
Judgment at Nuremberg (4 July)
Based on the historic trials, it stars
Spencer Tracy, Judy Garland and
Oscar winner Maximilian Schell and
is a film not to be missed, says Bill.
“Some films can change your life
if they have something to say that
affects you deeply and I think
Judgment at Nuremberg is that
kind of film, it’s that potent.”
