TFS presents two great films at one low price!The Good Fairy (1935): Writer Preston Sturges and director William Wyler team up for this classic comedy that serves up an enticing blend of humour, heart, and charm.
Fresh from an orphanage and brimming with naive optimism, Luisa (Margaret Sullavan) takes a job as an usherette at a grand Budapest cinema. Her kind-hearted nature leads her to play “fairy godmother” to a struggling lawyer (Herbert Marshall) by pretending to be his wealthy wife. What starts as a whimsical act of charity soon spirals into a series of comic misadventures, romantic entanglements, and misunderstandings.
Celebrated for Sturges’ sharp dialogue and endearing characters, and Sullavan’s enchanting performance, this wonderful gem absolutely lights up the screen and is more than worth a trip to the cinema!
Becky Sharp (1935): Join us for a rare big screen presentation of this dazzling adaptation of the 1849 novel Vanity Fair, the first feature-length movie shot in full Technicolor. Set in Napoleonic-era England, Becky Sharp (Miriam Hopkins) is a cunning and ambitious governess who schemes her way through high society, using charm and wit to rise above her humble beginnings. As she navigates a world of privilege and hypocrisy, Becky’s relentless pursuit of status and power leads to both triumphs and betrayals.
At once a lavish costume drama and sharp critique of social ambition and class distinctions, the film is a feast for the eyes that uses the Technicolor process to stunning dramatic effect. But don’t take our word for it, see it for yourself!
