CLASSIC MOVIES TAKE OFF IN PORT FAIRY…


"South Pacific", the 1958 musical (PG 150 mins plus interval ) starring Mitzi Gaynor, Juanita Hall and Rossano Brazzi makes this Pacific interlude one of the most popular of the Rogers and Hammerstein musicals.
"South Pacific" is the second film in our Classic Matinee season. The February screening of "Singing in the Rain" was well attended by 60 members, including residents from Moyneyana Hostel and Belfast House. There were some really lovely reminiscences from some who saw it originally at the Reardon Theatre in 1955. One viewer was an usherette at that time and another lady said with a shy smile, that she was courting.
"South Pacific" screens at 1.30pm Tuesday 23 March for members. Membership concessions for the Classic matinees can be purchased through the Port Fairy Senior Citizens Club (5568 1755) and the Port Fairy Day Centre.
