FREE public screening of a new print at Library Of Congress.


Hi Alex & other any other fellow Deanna Durbin devotees,
I just wanted to post the Library Of Congress has scheduled another FREE screening of one of Deanna's films. Please feel free to spread the good news. The more people we can get to come the more money may be allocated to restoring more of her films.
Thank you for your time,
Larry

SPRING PARADE (Universal, 1940)
In this light and lovely romantic musical, a Hungarian woman(Deanna Durbin) attends a Viennese fair and buys a card from a gypsy fortune teller. It says that she will meet someone important and is destined for a happy marriage. Afterward she gets a job as a baker's assistant. She then meets a handsome army drummer (Robert Cummings) who secretly dreams of becoming a famous composer and conductor. Unfortunately the military forbids the young corporal to create his own music. But then Ilonka (Durbin) secretly sends one of the drummer's waltzes to the Austrian Emperor with his weekly order of pastries. Her act paves the way toward the tuneful and joyous fulfillment of the gypsy's prediction.
Directed by Henry Koster. With Deanna Durbin, Robert Cummings, S.Z. Sakall, Micha Auer, Henry Stevenson and Franklin Pangborn.
Romantic musical comedy. Black & white, 89 min.
