Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation

Rekindling the Magic ~ Sustaining the Legacy

The showing of Titanic has been canceled
due to a recall of rights by the studio.
The Wizard of Oz has also been postponed at this
time due to studio considerations.

The Historic DeSoto Theatre Foundation's Classic Cinema at the DeSoto Theatre series will present two upcoming movies that are sure to please audiences of all ages. Young Frankenstein will show on Saturday Oct. 29 at 3:30pm and Gone With the Wind on Saturday Nov. 12 at 1:30pm and 7pm.

Listed in the American Film Institute's 100 Funniest Movies, Young Frankenstein is a 1974 American comedy directed by Mel Brooks and starring Gene Wilder. The film is an affectionate parody of film adaptations of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein.

Gone With the Wind is the 1939 American historical epic film adapted from Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer-winning 1936 novel. It tells the story of the American Civil War and Reconstruction era from a Southern point of view, featuring film stars Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.
