The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presents a screening of The Prisoner of Zenda, in celebration of the centennial of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.'s birth. This exciting, technically innovative 1937 adventure features Fairbanks alongside Ronald Colman. When the King of Ruritania (Colman) is kidnapped on the eve of his coronation, his distant cousin (also Colman) must impersonate him to save the monarchy. The screening features behind-the-scenes footage from the production. Learn More
Fantastic. I'm so impressed that the Academy does these screenings. Great movie and what a pleasure to see Mr. Borgnine. He's 92 years old and still going strong. A wonderful evening. Thanks Goldstar.
It was a terrific event! The print was wonderful; I can't remember ever seeing a black and white movie in such fine detail. The acting and directing were wonderful, as was the cinematography. I didn't know whether to fall in love with Donna Reed or Deborah Kerr (both were ravishing) and there couldn't possibly be better leading men than Burt Lancaster or Montgomery Clift (so how did "Old Blue Eyes" win the Oscar?).
I wish all my friends could have seen it, although my date didn't really care for it (what's that about?).
Ernest Borgnine spoke for a very enjoyable time. He did not ever extend his welcome. The movie was great. They don't make many great movies anymore. The theater is very comfortable.

Includes a Discussion with Ernest Borgnine
This compelling drama, adapted from the novel by James Jones, explores the troubled lives of several soldiers (and the women who love them) on a Hawaiian Army base in the months leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The film culminates with a large-scale re-creation of the attack, combined with actual documentary footage.
The winner of eight Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Directing (for Fred Zinnemann), the film features no less than five Oscar®-nominated performances, including Oscar-winning turns by Frank Sinatra and Donna Reed in supporting roles. The famed embrace in the surf between Army wife Deborah Kerr and her lover Burt Lancaster still sizzles.
This new digital restoration by Sony Pictures was made from the only original elements still in existence, the fine grain master positive, which was scanned at 4K to create a new 35mm negative, and features a digitally restored original soundtrack.
