(Just a reminder:)
Lou Sabini will be here this weekend with his own 16MM PRINTS of lesser known films by famous directors.

Here's the schedule:
FRIDAY:
2PM = William Wyler's DODSWORTH = "the best film of the 1930's" (101 min)
4PM = Preston Sturges' HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO = a film from the original King of Comedy (101 min)
(6PM = Break for dinner)
6:30PM = Alfred Hitchcock's THE LADY VANISHES = a comedy within the guise of a thriller from the Master of Suspense (97 min)

SATURDAY:
10AM = Frank Capra's PLATINUM BLONDE = a clever newspaper comedy (aka the genre that spawned Citizen Kane) (85 min)
HIGH NOON = John Ford's MY DARLING CLEMENTINE = a poetic Western from the master of the genre (97 min)
(2PM = Break for lunch)
2:30PM = Buster Keaton's STEAMBOAT BILL, JR. = a classic from that other (arguably funnier) silent comic (69 min)

There will be an introduction before each film and a brief Q&A following each film. So come out and to see a few (or all) of these beautiful, actual film prints.

See you there,
Kyle
