Films by request of viewers
The radio-TV-film department will once again present their weekly film series for the fifth year on Thursday evenings, said Joan McGettigan, a professor of radio-TV-film.

The series is open to not only the TCU community but to the entire Dallas-Fort Worth area. McGettigan said the film series is for all types of people, including senior citizens and students.

There is no cost to the films and the selections are decided by the regular attendees, which include about 40 to 50 people.

This semester’s film series will include such films as “A Man for All Seasons” (1966), “Gilda” (1946) and “Dawn Patrol” (1938).

All the feature films will be introduced by McGettigan and include a cartoon and news reel. She said the films are usually finished by 10 p.m.

The film, “A Man for All Seasons,” will be the first film in the series and be shown at 7 p.m. Jan. 27 in the Moudy Building South, Room 164.

The film, which won six Academy Awards in 1967, stars Paul Scofield in his Oscar winning role as Sir Thomas More. The film also won the awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design.

The film revolves around Sir Thomas More, who went against King Henry VIII when the king wanted to divorce his wife and remarry another woman. This went against the Roman Catholic Church’s beliefs.

The motion picture was based on the award-winning play by Robert Bolt, who also wrote the screenplay.
