On the second Tuesday of the month, June 9, those who haven't already done so
on their own will be seeing I'll See You in My Dreams. It's a late-in-life romance starring Blythe Danner (aka Gwyneth Paltrow's mother) and Sam Elliott. Some of our members might deem this film a bit too fluffier than our usual fare, but there's nothing else on just now that I believe would appeal to the majority of us. And I'm pretty sure a pleasant bit of fluff once in awhile won't harm us.
What I would have chosen, if the timing had been better, is Testament of Youth, based on unforgettable the World War I memoirs of Vera Brittain, But it doesn't arrive in our city until June 19.

The
Varsity Cinema is the only one in Toronto showing so I'll See You in My Dreams so far, so
we'll meet there in front of the box office approximately 20 minutes
before the 3:40 screen time.
We'll eschew the Bloor Street Diner afterward because several people (including me) consider it too expensive. So we'll go back to our former spot on the lower level of the ManuLife Centre, Sciaccia. Those who want to go for a bite after the film should notify me no later than noon on Monday, June 8 so I can make a reservation for the correct number of people.
SYNOPSIS:
A widow and former songstress (Blythe Danner), who's finding the dating scene difficult at her age, spends her time with her friends, golfing, gardening and singing karaoke, but still feels lonely.
When she randomly meets a sexy man (Sam Elliott) who's about her age, she realizes that life can begin anew at any age.
