Thanks, La Connection, for reminding me of “The Day of the Triffids”! Actually, a directory would be quite simple to compile, I suppose best from microfilm copies of “The Boston Phoenix” or “The Real Paper”. The movie reviews were always on the same page, making finding them simple and fast? I forgot to mention the great “Boudou Saved From Drowning”, the original French movie from the Thirties, which would certainly be out of place nowadays, when we drown in moral relativities. I seem to recall a restaurant by the Orson Welles called the “Au Chose”?

Is there a directory for films shown at the Orson Welles Cinema, besides the newspaper listings? I saw many from 1978-1981, and enjoyed the information printed out on long, colored paper handouts, in the lobby before the showings. The Thief of Paris, Aguirre Wrath of God, Get Out Your Handkerchiefs, Murmer of the Heart, Lacombe Lucien, Kaspar Hauser, Tess, Nicholas and Alexandra, The Green Wall, The Third Man, Of Human Bondage, The Clockmaker. Terrific! I cannot recall the name of the movie concerning the young, beautiful actress who falls in love and loses everything, including her life, in the Bolshevist revolution in Georgia?
