Love is in the air!  Or, at least, in the movie titles of all our films this month.  It is going to Valentine’s Day after all.  Come out and share in the romance, all kinds of it.

Love in the Afternoon (Allied Artists, 1957)

"Love in the Afternoon" poster (1957)Start the month off with a rom com!  A bit of May-December (well, at least October) love between Gary Cooper and Audrey Hepburn.  Cooper is a PI working for Hepburn’s father.  But he becomes quite bewitched by her.  How could he not?  Directed by Billy Wilder.  B&W, 130 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love Me Tender (20th Century-Fox, 1956)

"Love Me Tender" poster 1956Who doesn’t love a good Elvis movie?  And this is his first.  It is a western or a musical?  Whichever it is a good story about how complicated love can be….with a few songs thrown in including “Let Me,” “Poor Boy,” and the title tune.  Debra Paget is Elvis’s love interest.  B&W, 89 minutes.
