Reg Hartt

The CineForum is located in the home of Reg Hartt who has been a fixture on the Toronto scene since the 1960s. Said TVO Host Elwy Yost, "Reg Hartt has a feel for film unique in this country…approaching genius level." Don't let that alarm you. Hartt is fun, lots of fun. He knows his stuff. Hanging in The CineForum is a full sized authorized replica of The Turin Shroud. For the last two decades and counting Hartt has been under attack. A series of anonymous posters meant to incite violence continue to go up on the streets daily: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/toronto-alternative-theatre-founder-stands-up-to-bullying-threats/article549053/ . It takes a strong person to stand up to attacks as withering as these. Hartt is a strong person. One of his long time friends, from her arrival in Toronto, was Jane Jacobs, the author of THE DEATH AND LIFE OF GREAT AMERICAN CITIES. Hartt has been called everything Jacobs wrote about. He is. What makes him that are the persistent attempts by the City Of Toronto and its anonymous allies to drag him down. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2016/06/27/cineforum-deserves-a-happy-ending-to-its-saga-keenan.html .For Jane Jacobs the best part of a Reg Hartt program was Hartt and what he has to say. She's not the only one: https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-male-orators/reference?page=3 .. Joe Fiorito wrote, "Reg Hartt teaches like Neal Cassady drove a truck." That is a helluva compliment. It means The CineForum is the coolest place on Toronto. It is also, wrote Chandler Levack, the best place in Toronto to take a date. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jICXAzPx9cE . “I have seldom felt a film’s greatness in film class. I often feel it at Reg Hartt’s.”—UofT Varsity.

The impeccable Mae West (She Done Him Wrong) is Peaches O’Day, a con artist who befriends Captain Jim McCarey (Edmund Lowe, Chandu the Magician), a cop who must turn her in unless she leaves town. The clever Peaches returns transformed as sultry brunette and Parisian sensation Mademoiselle Fifi. After catching the show, crooked mayoral candidate John Quade (Lloyd Nolan, The House on 92nd Street) tries to close it down when Peaches demurely declines his romantic overtures. Captain McCarey jumps in the race for mayor against Quade, and the loyal Peaches fervently campaigns for him. With the help of jazz great Louis Armstrong (A Man Called Adam) on trumpet, an enthusiastic Mae rallies the crowd to “Laugh, Sing and Vote!” in a delightful final scene. Written by West and directed by A. Edward Sutherland (It’s the Old Army Game).
