This is the 15th film history presentation assembled by producer/presenter John LeGear and features some of his finest story-telling. As with all his "movie music" presentations, John takes the audience on a guided tour through the decades, paying tribute to the greatest composers, lyricists, directors, producers and performers all along the way. This briskly paced 85-minute "docu-musical" highlights LeGear's "percussive" film-editing style, designed to grab and hold the audience's attention while setting the stage for a quick turn or surprise ending. Please join us for this uplifting showcase of the greatest art form ever created?the movies.
