May 19th, 2025Manny P. here…
“`It is that time of the year. What is becoming my annual pilgrimage to the Columbus Moving Picture Show in Ohio, the film fest always takes place leading into the Memorial Day weekend. Festival producer Samantha Glasser always guarantees a fine collection of movies on celluloid, the largest dealer room in the Midwest, and a very strong lineup of author oral presentations. The event will be held at the Crowne Plaza North.
“`I will be there with my collection in the Forgotten Hollywood book series.
AND BREAKING NEWS!!!
Forgotten Hollywood: Beware of the Blog
“`I will be accepting pre-orders for my new hardcover pop culture work! Co-written with my sister, Virginia Vandewouwer, the book looks at media in the first quarter of the twenty-first century, and its relationship with Hollywood’s Golden Age. It is officially due out in August. However, patrons of the Columbus Moving Picture Show will have the initial opportunity of owning a signed copy.
“`Movies scheduled at this year’s festival include the pre-code comedy classic, Million Dollar Legs, with W. C. Fields and Jack Oakie; silent feature, Irene, with the fabulous Coleen Moore; and Kentucky, featuring Loretta Young and an Oscar-winning performance by Walter Brennan.
“`I will be presenting a Forgotten Hollywood oral presentation on Friday at 10a in the Cardinal Room. I will telling stories from my new book. Joining me from the West Coast – Hollywood historians, authors and my dear friends – Richard Greene and Randy Skretvedt. Also on hand, film historian Rob Stone from the Library of Congress (another pal).
“`The Crowne Plaza North is located at 6500 Doubletree Ave., Columbus, Ohio. Consider this my personal invitation to stop on by at this one-of-a-kind film festival. Here is a link for more information:
