Golden West Film Fest Is for Seniors

The Golden West College weekly “Fall Senior Film Festival,” which is designed for ages 60 and over, begins Tuesday with “Lovely to Look At” (1952), an adaptation of the musical “Roberta.” Set in Paris and full of comedy and romance, the movie stars Howard Keel, Kathryn Grayson and Red Skelton.

The series continues Oct. 11 with “Gaslight” (1944), the story of a man intent on driving his wife to madness. Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer and Joseph Cotten star.

Up next is “Mister Roberts” on Oct. 18. The 1955 comedy-drama stars Henry Fonda and James Cagney with dueling personalities aboard a U.S. Navy ship during World War II.

The original “Jazz Singer” (1927), one of the first talkies, will be shown Oct. 25. Al Jolson plays a young man who has just gotta sing and dance, no matter what.

Alfred Hitchcock’s “Torn Curtain” (1966), with Paul Newman and Julie Andrews in the story of an American scientist pretending to be a defector, will be shown Nov. 1.

The series ends Nov. 8 with “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” (1939), a sentimental tale of a teacher’s life at a school for boys. Greer Garson stars, with Robert Donat in the title role.

All the films will be shown in the Forum II theater, 15744 Golden West St., Huntington Beach, starting at 3 p.m. A Gold Key Card, available from the school for $3, will be good for admission to any and all screenings.
