Celebrating Robert Altman’s 90th
7:20 show SOLD OUT ONLINE. Limited tickets may be available at box office.
(1974, Robert Altman) Manic Elliott Gould and gloomy George Segal breakfast on Fruit Loops and beer and team up for action, from the poker table to the track to the fights to pick-up basketball games to bets on the Seven Dwarfs to run-ins with muggers in late-night parking lots; and ultimately to Vegas for craps, roulette and blackjack in an obsessive search for that one big score. Approx. 111 min. 35mm archival print of the original theatrical version, including three minutes of scenes deleted from the DVD (due to music rights issues).
On this 90th anniversary of Robert Altman’s birth, we’re pleased to welcome the director’s wife Kathryn and author Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan for a conversation before the screening, with Q&A following the film. Copies of their lavish new book ALTMAN (published by Abrams) will be available for sale at our concession, with a book signing in lobby to follow the event.
Reviews
“ONE OF THE GREAT LOST FILMS OF THE ‘70S! Altman's career is littered with underseen gems, but few shine as brightly as this shambling, soulful 1974 hangout movie.”
