Never let it be said that the city of Dallas doesn’t love celebrating film and filmmakers. The USA Film Festival returns to the Angelika Film Center in Mockingbird Station this Wednesday with five days of awesome movies and lots of talent in attendance. Ernie Hudson gets a tribute and showing of GALLOW’S ROAD on Wednesday (you can see Hudson next month at Fan Expo Dallas); local actor Glenn Morshower’s newest THE DOO DAH MAN (a showcase piece for the seasoned actor) plays on Thursday; look for a showing of THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH with Candy Clark on Friday; and there’s a tribute to legendary actor Tab Hunter and a cast reunion for JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (1959) are two cool events going on this Saturday… and those are just a few highlights.
