Welcome to the Cinema Society of San Diego's 40th season celebration.

When I left Columbia Pictures in Chicago as their Midwest Marketing Director back in 1983, my hope was to "do my own thing" in a city that truly is the finest in this country, and now, 40 years later, I look back at what has been accomplished, bringing quality motion picture events to appreciative San Diego film lovers.

I remember when we saluted the great Karl Malden with a showcasing of his ON THE WATERFRONT. I thought it had gone well, but two days after that event my phone rang, and when I picked it up to say hello, I heard his distinctive voice say this- "Andy Friedenberg, Karl Malden here. I want to tell you something...I do a lot of presentations of my work to groups around the country, and most of them are schlocky...yours was first class".

I thanked Mr. Malden for his gracious words, and I thank all of you for allowing this film lover to fulfill his dream of celebrating the magic of the movies-first class-- for 40 years.

Now let's party.

Founder and Director
