We’re here, all! It’s time to celebrate that great director, Norman Jewison, on the weekend of what would have been his ninety-eighth birthday.
You all are more than familiar with the usual procedure. Please send me your wonderful posts throughout the weekend and I’ll post them here as soon as possible, and check back often for any updates.
And if anyone would like to join us, there are plenty of topics to choose from, so feel free to contact me and sign up. The details can be found here.
All right, without further ado, may I present my fellow bloggers as they present Mr. Jewison’s work…
Sally from 18 Cinema Lane kicks us off with a look at the 1989 film, In Country.
Gill from Realweegiemidget Reviews also gets us going with her thoughts on 1982’s Best Friends.
John Rieber looks at the 1967 classic, In the Heat of the Night.
Eric from Diary of A Movie Maniac has a review of 1985’s Agnes of God.
Here’s my review of Jewison’s 2001 HBO TV movie, Dinner With Friends.
Le from Crítica Retrô tells us about her experience with 1963’s The Thrill of It All.
Nitrateglow tells us about Jewison’s infamous 1966 Cold War farce, The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming!
Kristen from Hoofers and Honeys brings us her review of 1964’s hilarious Send Me No Flowers.
Quiggy from The Midnite Drive-In shows us how small the world is, even in Hollywood, with a Jewison-themed “Connect the Dots.”

Keep ’em coming, everyone! As always, depending on when you read this, I’ll see you on Monday for a little wrap-up…
