Commentary from Movie Maverick Mike
Father of Musicals
#kspscinema
Our movie “Father of the Bride” is a good occasion to talk about wunderkind director Vincente Minnelli, who crafted some of Hollywood's best features from the early 40s to 1970.
Lester Anthony Minnelli, who passed in 1986, moved easily from stage to movie musicals and comedies. His most lauded works include Best Pictures “An American in Paris” and “Gigi”, but he also helmed classics like “Brigadoon”, “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever”, and SNC favorite “Meet Me in St. Louis”. His directorial debut, 1943’s “Cabin in the Sky”, was one of the first major productions to feature an all-black cast.
Minelli directed seven different actors to Oscar nominations, and has the unique position of having won an Oscar alongside his daughter Liza and his first wife Judy Garland.
Featuring little-known films and blockbusters alike, Saturday Night Cinema has been entertaining KSPS audiences since 1985. Enjoy dramas, comedies, mysteries, musicals and more; with film introduction and commentary by KSPS hosts: Shaun O’L. Higgins, Ryan Tucker, Mikayla Daniels, and our movie maverick, Mike Hoff.
