Presented free to seniors (62+) on Monday afternoons through October.
Beginning this March, our senior matinee screenings are fully incorporated into our regular film calendar. Cinematic classics from the George Eastman House collection will be presented in 35mm, the way they were originally screened and were meant to be seen. This series is made possible in part by the Daisy Marquis Jones Foundation and the Monroe County Office for the Aging.
In the mother of all screwball comedies, Cary Grant stars as a stuffy paleontologist who knows more about dinosaurs than he does about the modern woman. This makes him easy prey for wacky heiress Katharine Hepburn who gets her man involved in a series of increasingly funny disasters. Director Hawks, a master of all genres, provided a template for comedy directors for years to come, and it still holds up beautifully.
