The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994.

On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991).

Cast Gregory Peck as Anthony Keane Ann Todd as Gay Keane Alida Valli as Mrs. Maddalena Paradine Charles Laughton as the Judge, Lord Thomas Horfield Ethel Barrymore as Lady Sophie Horfield Charles Coburn as Sir Simon Flaquer, Joan Tetzel as Judy Flaquer, Louis Jourdan as André Latour, Leo G. Carroll as the counsel for the prosecution Isobel Elsom as the Innkeeper in Cumberland Review Despite having many qualities, this film did not do well on its release, either critically or commercially. The film was initially about the downfall of a great, good and happy man brought down by his figurative blindness when involved in a puzzling law case. However the film changes direction, putting the greater theme into second place. Instead the focus goes onto the murder trial and the legal 3 preparations. At its heart The Paradine Case has a mystery: Did Mrs Paradine poison her blind, aged husband? If she did not, then what happened? Her barrister, Anthony Keane (Gregory Peck) sums up the possibilities succinctly: either he committed suicide, she did it as charged or her husband’s sinister manservant André La Tour (Lois Jordan) murdered him for a bequest - or in an assisted suicide. -
A High Country Christmas
P O Box 96, Newton, Iowa 50208, Phone: 641-792-1230, www.newtontheatre.com A High Country Christmas By Robert Inman Directed by Pam Ratliff & Mary Thompson December 1 & 2, 2017 at 7:30 PM December 3, 2017 at 2:00 PM December 7, 8 & 9, 2017 at 7:30 PM It’s Christmas Eve day during the era of the Great Depression in a rural mountain area where families struggle to keep body and soul together. Miserly Silas McTavish owns and operates a general store—with the help of his long-suffering clerk, Abner Veazey, and Abner’s son, Caleb—where hard bargains are struck and credit is never allowed. As Silas prepares for bed, a mysterious stranger “Guest” appears at the foot of Silas’ bed and commands him to follow on a journey through Christmas past, present and future. Their first stop is Silas’ boyhood home in Scotland, where as a young man he announces to his family that he is going to America, leaving his sweetheart, Fiona, behind. The second stop is Abner Veazey’s home, where his large impoverished family steadfastly maintains Christmas cheer despite Caleb’s worsening condition. Mrs. Walker arrives with her sick infant. The final stop of Silas and the Guest—Christmas future—is a graveyard where a funeral service is underway for Caleb and the Walker infant, whose lives could have been saved by a doctor. The Guest departs after reminding Silas that he has the power to alter Christmas future. Silas awakens on Christmas morning deeply moved by his nightlong journey. -

French Film Series to Conclude with Works from Final Period of the Classic Tradition
The Museum of Modern Art Department of Film 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART ENTRANCE at 18 W. 54 #42 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRENCH FILM SERIES TO CONCLUDE WITH WORKS FROM FINAL PERIOD OF THE CLASSIC TRADITION In its final months, REDISCOVERING FRENCH FILM PART II, The Museum of Modern Art's comprehensive survey of French film history, will screen classics from the 1940s and • 50s, then pause to look back at the very beginnings of the long tradition of French filmmaking. The schedule for August begins with a look at the French cinema at the time of the Occupation and features two rare films of the liberation: Le Six Juin a l'Aube, a documentary made by the great feature film director Jean Gremillon, and Rene Clement's La Bataille du Rail. Also scheduled in August are two of the most striking French films noirs of the postwar period, Clouzot's Quai des Qrfevres and Yves All^gret's De'dee d'An vers, Simone Signoret's star-making vehicle. In September, the schedule will focus on the films of the 1950s, during the last flowering of the classic tradition before the tumult of the New Wave. Among the highlights are two film adaptations of Emile Zola's scathing social fiction—Julien Duvivier's Pot-Bouille and Marcel Carne*' s updated Therese Raquin—plus La Marie du Port, a rarely seen Carrie vehicle for France's most durable male star, Jean Gabin. Many of the most prominent French films of the '50s retreated into an acid-tinged nostalgia for the past; such resplendent examples of this tendency as Max Ophuls's La Ronde and Le Plaisir, Rene Clair's Les Grandes Manoeuvres and Les Belles-de-Nuit, and Jean Renoir's French Can-can are scheduled.
