Brown has always been something of a mystery to me. I don't dislike his work by any means, but have always wondered how he reached such prestigious heights that his name was assumed to assure that a picture was one of quality. I guess we need festivals like this to educate rubes like me.
That must be it, and while I am always surprised by how nuts anything in life can get, I always believe it. As for Tennessee, I've been there several times, we did The Grand Ole Opry and in Memphis at the University saw a grand performance by Dixie Carter as Blanche in A Streetcar named Desire. Very hot.
What a great line up! I wish I could be there to see a few films I've missed. A very talented, underappreciated director, thanks so much to all the people involved for putting this on...
Oh man!! You know I grew up in Tennessee (and lived in Knoxville for a brief time after college)...now what do we need to do to get you here in Houston for something similar b🤔

SMOULDERING FIRES is a masterpiece! I remember seeing that and, much like STELLA DALLAS, being so moved by it.

All good things true about Clarence Brown, but no Human Comedy? A genuine shame.
Damn damn damn, won't be able to make it, and Brown a favorite director at my house.
Asheville is close enough to make this really frustrating...anyway, it will be fantastic and I greatly regret missing a chance to meet you irl.
At least I got to see Claude Jarman introduce Intruder in the Dust at TCMFF a few years ago, so there's that.
Have a wonderful time, it's going to be swell!

I wish I could make it out to the silents! All ones I haven’t seen yet. I have that biography though. Glad to hear it’s a good one.
