‘Such Friends’ at Midnight in Paris

Posted in Alice B. Toklas, Americans in Paris, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Man Ray by Kathleen Dixon Donnelly on August 29, 2011

Thank you to those who came to my presentation ‘Such Friends’: The Americans in Paris in the 1920s, before the matinee of Woody Allen’s film Midnight in Paris at Birmingham’s Electric Cinema last week. We had a great time and lots of good questions.

If you would like the reading list, e-mail me and I’ll send it to you.

I have contacted some other local cinemas about repeating the presentation when they show Midnight in Paris, so stay in touch. You can join the ‘Such Friends’ group on Facebook for updates.

You can read the Guardian review from the Cannes Festival. Have you seen it yet? How was it for you?

That was every fantasy I’ve ever had since I was 13. Also, I saw it in the lovely Squirrel Hill theater. Didn’t know you were right here!

  I was–for all of July. But now I am back in my adopted home of Birmingham, UK. Where do you live in Squirrel Hill?
