Film Group

Please join us for a screening of “The Lady Eve” (1941), a film written and directed by Preston Sturges. This complex romantic comedy is about a bumbling snake hunter, played by a young Henry Fonda, who becomes the prey of a sexy con artist, played by Barbara Stanwyck. Widely considered by critics as one of the best American films ever made, it is a classic example of “screwball comedy.”  We will discuss the genre and compare it to current films such as Anora, which is described as “neo-screwball.”

Feel free to bring a nosh to share with others for a pot-luck snack table (please, no popcorn). 
Note: The accessible entrance will be unlocked.
