Scope and ContentFile, Irish Film Society (Cork Branch) Season Oct 1959 - April 1960. The file consists mainly of correspondence regarding the work of the branch, including preparation of programme, advertising, accounts, and dealings with the Irish Film Society/Cumann na Scannan, Dublin. The file is generally in reverse chronological order, the first item being the statement of accounts for season 1959 (April 1959). However, there is a sub-section containing correspondence regarding the objection by the Catholic bishop of Cork and Ross, Cornelius Lucey, to the proposed screening of the film 'Baby Doll' (Kazan, USA). Following a general meeting of members (5 Feb 1950), the film was withdrawn.
Also present is the annual report 1958-59 [just before start of subsection], and some copies of programmes for 1959-60 and a notice to junior branch members for season 1961-62. These have been placed at the front of the file, along with a small undated newscutting. This begins 'I hear that season tickets for the Cork Branch of the Irish Film Society cannot be had for love or money'.
