The Dryden will screen The Heiress (William Wyler, U.S. 1949, 115 min., 35mm).

In 1998, the Dryden last screened The Heiress, a film for which Olivia de Havilland received both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1950. In honor of her 100th birthday, the Dryden will be showing this award-winning performance once again. De Havilland plays a wealthy spinster wooed by fortune-hunter (Montgomery Clift) in early 20th-century New York City. This Hollywood adaptation of Henry James's Washington Square features assured direction by the great William Wyler and a superlative music score from Aaron Copland.
