American Cinematheque presents a V-Day digital screening of the Blake Edwards classic Breakfast at Tiffany's at the Egyptian Theatre. When Audrey Hepburn's girl-about-town Holly Golightly meets handsome nice guy George Peppard, she begins to gradually rethink her anything-goes, high-living lifestyle. The 1961 romantic comedy is adapted from Truman Capote's bestselling romance by director Edwards (The Pink Panther, The Party) and features what is arguably Henry Mancini's greatest score. Learn More

Description
Larry Karaszewski Presents: A Salute to Rudy Ray Moore - Double Feature
Dolemite, 1975, Xenon, 90 min.
Super soul brother, Dolemite (Rudy Ray Moore), aided by his squad of kung fu hookers, goes up against evil bad-ass Willie Green (D'Urville Martin, who also directed) in this low-budget classic. Peppered with Rudy's famous toasts, martial arts skills and just plain crazy plot twists, DOLEMITE must be seen to be believed.
