THANK YOU to the COLONIAL THEATRE

| The historic Colonial Theatre lets Digging Star Wars host this screening! |
For years, I wanted to present a film at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA. Having lunch months ago with Digging Star Wars longtime guest writer, Peter Fey, the topic came up in light of our blog's Top 100 Henry Mancini Films for 2024. That lunch inspired an email to The Colonial and before you know it, I get to host this film featuring one of Henry Mancini's favorite love themes he composed in his lengthy career. Two for the Road (1967) is on our Top 100 list but very high on our list so it has yet to be featured. Keep checking back to see where it lands in the Top 100.
Today's screening was a lot of fun. I had fellow members from the Spoilers Movie Club from my work and the Classic Movie Fans of Philadelphia Facebook club. It was great catching up with them at the movies! I also talked with other Mancini fans - some that grew up close to his hometown.
I also promised attendees something shiny and sparkly after the screening. Scroll down to see the glitz.

| It's a good-looking crowd. Yes, that's glare. It was bright on that stage! See my seat? It's the one with Coke and Goobers. |

Great event! You did a wonderful job introducing the film and enlightening the audience about Mancini's prolific career.
