Screening of 1960s Black Comedy The Loved One, with Jonathan Winters in Person
- Full Price:

- SOLD OUT
American Cinematheque presents a screening of The Loved One at the Egyptian Theatre. Billed as "the motion picture with something to offend everyone," this achingly funny, pitch-black comedy could only have been released in the anything-goes era of the 1960s. Writer Evelyn Waugh's spot-on satire of the Southern California funeral business is brought to the screen by director Tony Richardson (Tom Jones) with a screenplay by Terry Southern and Christopher Isherwood. Robert Morse, a British youth visiting his uncle (John Gielgud) in Los Angeles, encounters the weird world of Tinseltown's mortuary subculture, embodied by twins Henry and Reverend Wilbur Glenworthy (played by Jonathan Winters in a dual role), embalmer Mr. Joyboy (Rod Steiger) and his beautiful apprentice, Aimee Thanatogenous (Anjanette Comer). Liberace, Paul Williams and Dana Andrews also make appearances. Actors Jonathan Winters and Robert Morse and cinematographer Haskell Wexler will be on hand for a post-screening discussion. Learn More

Description
A Face in the Crowd, 1957, Warner Bros., 125 min. Dir. Elia Kazan. Andy Griffith is mesmerizing as an Arkansas vagrant-turned-television-sensation in Kazan’s provocative examination of fame, fraud, and the media’s transition from radio to television.
50th Anniversary: WIld River, 1960, 20th Century Fox, 110 min. Dir. Elia Kazan. Always-excellent Montgomery Clift plays Chuck Glover, a young man sent to rural Tennessee to oversee the building of a dam. Deep-seated racial tension emerges when it is suggested that black laborers work on the construction of the dam, and complications only build when Chuck becomes romantically entangled with a local widow.
Discussion in between films with actress Patricia Neal, moderated by film historian Foster Hirsch. Patricia Neal will sign her autobiography Patricia Neal: An Unquiet Life at 7:00pm in the lobby.
