I just returned from The Vintage Film Festival in beautiful Port Hope, Ontario. The festival has it origins in nearby Cobourg where Marie Dressler was born. Her birthplace is now a museum. Each year at least one Dressler film is shown in her honor. This year a new book by author Victoria Sturtevant called A Great Big Girl Like Me: The Films of Marie Dressler was available. To obtain a copy of this book go to the festival website and also check out more information on this wonderful event at the historic Capitol Theatre. Here is the website:
