1940's Films: Extra Credit

Here are a few on-line free films to view from the 1940's. You may watch as many of these as you'd like for extra credit. After viewing, post a simple response on the forum. You may do this up until June 15.

You are more than welcome to watch ANY film from the 1940's, particularly if you have a Blockbuster or Netflix account. Some of your parents might own 1940's films as well. Ask them. Make a family-night of this. You may also check out the Dryden Theater (the George Eastman House) and see what might be playing from the 1940's, 1950's, or 1960's. All Permissible for this marking period.
