> Gary Fuchs writes, re: THE BOYS OF ST. VINCENT:
>"I read about this title in the capsule film review section of THE NEW
>YORKER magazine, where it has appeared over the past few months.
>This indicates that the film has been (or was, at least) playing (at a
>theatre) somewhere in New York City. I recall wanting an opportunity to

>The University of Minnesota Film Society (one of the best exhibitors of
