Howard Hawks’ delicious musical treat finished off our season in grand style. One can easily imagine Gentlemen Prefer Blondes turning up on Channel 13 on a Saturday night (followed by a bad short, and a terrible indie… where do they find them?), but without the MovieNight family sharing the viewing experience, how much fun would it be? This was perfect!

Our raffle prize was won by Lavanya, who was traveling, and was unable to attend the finale. When she bought her tickets the week before, she confided that she was feeling lucky about this, having grown up in India, where Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was required viewing for her and “all us Indian girls”.  A good omen. Perhaps next year, we should wind up with a Bollywood feature. The winning ticket no. was 8003, just in case you’re wondering. And where was Tory this year?

It wasn’t just the season finale that made for a festive night… earlier in the day, Zofi graduated from Hunter College, Magna Cum Laude. How about them apples?

See you in September…
