Columbus Moving Picture Show

#SecretsOfTheFrenchPolice ran at #Cinevent in 1989 and we thought it was time to revisit this nutty #PreCode film. columbusmovingpictureshow.com/post/cinevent-…

Two of our silent film selections for the 2026 convention feature #Easter scenes. What else do they have in common?

We are sad to report that longtime dealer Stephen Sallay has died at age 86. costamemorialhome.com/obituary/steph…

From now until the show we will be revisiting obscure films that ran at #Cinevent in the past. #PRC’s #HollywoodAndVine ran in 2006 and stars #WandaMcKay, #JamesEllison, #FranklinPangborn and #DaisyTheDog in a fun romp in the movie business. columbusmovingpictureshow.com/post/cinevent-…

Bestselling biographer #RobertMatzen, author of Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II and nine other books, will discuss historical novel #SeasonOfTheGods with Caroline Breder-Watts, a fact-based, inside-WB historical novel about the making of #Casablanca on May 21 at 4:45.

We talked with Laura Jerrolds about #LauraLaPlante and #MarianNixon in this month’s podcast. We also shine a light on #ColumbusOhio’s #OscarWinning screenwriter #DonaldOgdenStewart. columbusmovingpictureshow.com/podcast-1/epis…

#LeonardKohl will present a seminar with film clips in association with his book #Bluto, #Buster and #TheBlob: Conversations with Actors and Writers From Hollywood and Radio’s Golden Age Friday morning. Don’t miss it!

#ItsAWonderfulWorld is part crime drama, part screwball comedy. #JimmyStewart and #ClaudetteColbert don’t always succeed in drawing laughs or making us believe they’re falling in love, but the small town theaters didn’t mind. columbusmovingpictureshow.com/post/screwball…

It is sure to be #OneExcitingWeek (end?) when you attend the Picture Show and see #AlPearce, #PinkyLee and #ShempHoward in a comedy of mistaken identity directed by #WilliamBeaudine. Buy your tickets now! #Republic

The #RitzTheatre in #TiffinOhio is offering a free screening of #TheStudentPrinceInOldHeidelberg Friday. ritztheatre.org/events/student…

Remember film conventions of days gone by? Remember walking into a film room and experiencing the joy and smell that went with it? Remember the thrill of talking with others who love vintage Hollywood as much as you do? Come to the Columbus Moving Picture Show May 21-24.

#IdeaGirl is a rare #Universal film about a song plugger who thinks she’s a manager #JulieBishop but the real treat is #ArthurQBryan (You know him as #ElmerFudd) warbling a tune. Longtime dealer John Millen will introduce this film Thursday evening. See you then! #JessBarker

We begin #ScrewballMarch with a failing attempt to duplicate the magic of The Lady Eve with #YouBelongToMe starring #BarbaraStanwyck as a doctor who marries wealthy and jealous #HenryFonda. columbusmovingpictureshow.com/post/screwball…

#LisaRoyere is the co-author of #EleanorPowell: #BornToDance and will present a seminar on the amazing tap dancing talent who made her mark on #MGM musicals on Thursday May 21 at 1:15 pm. Be sure to purchase a copy of the book after the seminar.

We will be screening #DickTracyMeetsGruesome on Friday May 22 on #16mm. The film stars crowd favorite #BorisKarloff and #Dayton native #RalphByrd, whose stint in the #DickTracy serials was so popular, fans insisted RKO replace Morgan Conway with him.

Last night’s screening of Money From Home restored by the 3D Film Archive was well attended and bumpered by fascinating presentations on the history of the film and the restoration process. We hope to see some of you at the Wexner Center’s Restoration weekend programming.

Join us Sunday May 24 for a screening of #ThePilgrimLady, a movie about a beautiful young woman #LynneRoberts posing as the author of a scandalous new novel to hide the writer’s real identity. All the men swoon when she removes her glasses including #AlanMowbray & #WarrenDouglas.

#GretaGarbo’s great nephew #ScottReisfield will join us at the Columbus Moving Picture Show. Hear him talk about her on this month’s podcast episode. Also follow the short but eventful life of #TyronePower from #Cincinnati. columbusmovingpictureshow.com/podcast-1/epis…

#TheLadyFromShanghai is an excellent #OrsonWelles #FilmNoir co-starring his wife #RitaHayworth. columbusmovingpictureshow.com/post/film-noir…

#LauraLaPlante biographer #LauraJerrolds will introduce a screening of #SmoulderingFires at the Columbus Moving Picture Show on May 23 and afterward present a seminar on both LaPlante and #MarianNixon who she also wrote about. Buy copies at the show and get them signed.
