History of the Dartmouth Film Society

Formally launched in 1949 (with W.C. Fields’ "Million Dollar Legs"), the DFS was the first student organization in the United States to bring to a college campus a program of films which were not likely to be shown at the local theater, in the classrooms, by clubs or elsewhere.
