Wednesday, December 1st is the final event of the SpIFF 2010 Professors Series, so if you haven’t made it down to the Magic Lantern yet for a classic film and “darn good” conversation afterward with an area college or university professor, now’s your chance. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until next fall.
This Wednesday will be a presentation of The Lady Eve with guest professorLeonard Oakland of Whitworth University.
From the SpIFF Events Website:
“THE LADY EVE is a 1941 sophisticated comedy written and directed by Preston Sturges, one of our neglected geniuses of Hollywood’s Golden Age. A young and very rich Henry Fonda (heir to Hale’s Pale Ale fortune) plays a shy bachelor devoted to the snakes of the Amazon. On the ship homeward he encounters the wily Barbara Stanwyk and her card-shark father, Charles Coburn—accompanied by a quartet of Sturges’ comic players. A serpentine plot ensues with classic comic dialogue. Has there been a comedy this sly, sexy and funny in the last ten years? Twenty?” —Leonard Oakland
The show starts at 7PM, and the professor’s discussion will follow immediately after.
Tickets are $10 at the door, $5 with Student ID.
