David Zeiger’s documentary energetically reveals the untold story of the GI movement to end the war in Vietnam. This is the story of one of the most vibrant and widespread upheavals of the 1960’s – one that had a profound impact on American society, yet has been virtually obliterated from the collective memory of that time. This hidden history combines fast-paced archival footage with thoughtful interviews, which Variety calls “perfectly timed with new doubts about the Iraq war.”

Holy Cross professor Jerry Lembcke, who is featured in the film,
will be on hand for a Q&A after the film.

“As it is, this one is compelling enough, a potent mix of outrage, residual anger, and sorrow that speaks not just to the legacy of our misadventures in Vietnam, but to the entire uncertain future of a nation at war.” -Bill Gallo, The Village Voice

Set in and around a Budapest store, Ernst Lubitsch’s 1940 classic “The Shop Around The Corner” features co-workers Klara (Margaret Sullavan) and Alfred (James Stewart) harboring an intense dislike for each other while maintaining a secret letter-writing relationship, neither realizing whom each other’s pen pal is. They fall in love via their correspondence, while being antipathic and peevish towards one another in real life. A major subplot concerns the apparent infidelity of the store owner’s wife, and its spillover effect upon the various working relationships in the shop. The film was remade as “You’ve Got Mail” with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in 1998, and was ranked #28 on the American Film Institute’s “100 Years…100 Passions” list.

Join Variety film critic Daniel M. Kimmel as he presents the film and talks about and signs his new book, “I’ll Have What She’s Having,” which goes behind-the-scenes of Hollywood’s greatest romantic comedies.
