Deanna Movie Posters on Display at the Stanford Theater

Earlier this month while visiting the Stanford Theater in Palo Alto, I was delighted to see  12 full-size Deanna posters hanging on the wall of the main gallery (a Deanna film fest took place at the theater last winter).

When you see these magnificent posters close-up, there's no doubting the star power of Deanna Durbin.

Here's a favorite of many: Lady on a Train

Here's Deanna's earliest film: Three Smart Girls

It's fun to see the small details on the poster: "A New Universal Picture"

and the Universal globe logo

After the sad news of Deanna's passing last month, it was rather comforting to see all of these lovely posters in their full-size glory, just as they were meant to be seen and enjoyed. And in a grand old movie palace that once screened these films when they were first released.

Thank you, Stanford Theater, for displaying these wonderful posters of Deanna.

Coming in December to the Stanford Theater: the complete films of Deanna Durbin

According to the calendar of film screenings at Stanford Theater in Palo Alto, California, the Stanford will be showing a collection of Deanna Durbin films.

Details are not available yet; the calendar only announces that staring in December we can expect "The Complete Films of Deanna Durbin", so it sounds like all 21 of her films will be shown throughout December 2012, to coincide with Ms Durbin's 91st birthday.

I wish I lived close enough to attend them all. The Stanford has to be my favorite movie theater ever; it's like stepping back in time to another era.

Visited the Stanford earlier this year, but I don't think I'll be able to go in December.
