𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: The films from 1939 are often regarded as some of the best in Hollywood’s history, and this rarely screened take on “Cinderella” is no exception! Claudette Colbert stars as a young showgirl roaming Paris in search of a job. Her luck changes when she encounters John Barrymore, a millionaire who assumes the role of her unconventional fairy godfather. Together they scheme to insert her into Parisian society under the guise of a Hungarian Baroness. With a rip-roaring script penned by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett, gorgeous couture costumes by Irene, and smart direction from Mitchell Leisen, this is a screwball you can’t miss seeing on a big screen.
Presented on 35mm.
