They are the very definition of debonair: elegant, gracious, well-bred. Classic movie stars Cary Grant and Ronald Colman are also suave, sophisticated and, oh, so handsome. Their films will be the main attraction of the film series aptly titled “The Debonairs (Part One).” Presented by the Old Chestnut Film Society and Ken-Ton Community Education, this long-running series presents some wonderful classic movies in a relaxed atmosphere where you can chat with other film buffs and win a door prize. Feel free to bring munchies, too. The series opens tonight with Colman starring in an early film adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities” (1935).
