Join us this Friday night to watch:
The Big Lift (1950) starring Montgomery Clift, Paul Douglas and Cornell Borchers.
From IMBD:
Experiences of two Air Force sergeants during the 1948 Berlin Airlift. In 1948, the Soviet Union blockades the Allied sectors of Berlin to bring the entire city under their control. A semi-documentary about the resulting Berlin Airlift gives way to stories of two fictitious U.S. Air Force participants: Sgt. Hank Kowalski, whose hatred of Germans proves resistant to change, and Sgt. Danny McCullough, whose pursuit of an attractive German war widow gives him a crash course in the seamy side of occupied Berlin. Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>
Some describe this as a part documentary and part drama. This was filmed on location in Germany.
Feel free to bring snacks to share. Popcorn, sodas and water will be available.
