2017-12-30 19:30 - 21:28 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Arsenic and Old Lace (Frank Capra, U.S. 1944, 118 min., 35mm) as part of the Capra, and Holidays series.
This charmingly morbid screwball comedy teams up director Capra and leading man Cary Grant for their only film together. The complex story involves two elderly sisters who commit "mercy" killings, Grant as their drama critic nephew, his new bride, and his two brothers—one who is convinced he's Teddy Roosevelt and the other a serial killer on the run with a drunken plastic surgeon played by Peter Lorre.

2017-12-31 14:00 - 16:01 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Some Like It Hot (Billy Wilder, U.S. 1959, 121 min., 35mm) as part of the Holidays series.
Often considered the pinnacle of Billy Wilder's career for its subversively sexual cleverness and outrageous slapstick, this delightful romp features the inexorable blond bombshell Marilyn Monroe as a love-seeking alcoholic singer. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon provide memorable performances as a duo of jazz musicians who, after witnessing a gangland murder, eagerly seek shelter by dressing in drag and joining an all-girl band.

2017-12-31 19:30 - 21:15 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen It Happened One Night (Frank Capra, U.S. 1934, 105 min., 35mm) as part of the Holidays and Capra series.
Sparks fly when a headstrong runaway heiress (Claudette Colbert) and a cynical, down-on-his-luck reporter (Clark Gable) battle hunger and each other on a cross-country trek via bus, thumb, and auto. This sleeper hit of 1934 swept the top five Academy Awards, established Capra as a major director, and initiated the screwball comedy-romance cycle. The sexual tension woven into the rapid-fire verbal exchanges leaps off the screen at the sight of Colbert's traffic-stopping gams and Gable's bare chest, the latter of which was famously rumored to have caused a drastic drop in underwear sales. Climb aboard for wild ride to the New Year!

Cimarron screening
2018-01-02 19:30 - 21:33 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Cimarron (Wesley Ruggles, U.S. 1931, 123 min., 35mm) as part of the Academy Awards at 90 series.
Voted the outstanding production (Best Picture) for 1930/1931, Cimarron stampeded its way to the podium like Ben-Hur's chariots rolling over the competition in 1959, and Titanic swamping every other picture in 1997. Big and sprawling, this screen adaptation of Edna Ferber's novel centers on one family's role in the founding of Oklahoma. Silent screen star Richard Dix received a Best Actor nomination for his portrayal of Yancy Cravat, a man whose great ambitions are always short-circuited by his incurable wanderlust. Disappearing for years at a time, he leaves his beloved wife Sabra (Irene Dunne) to hold the fort and keep the family together. Sabra is the enduring strength at the center of this saga, becoming a force for change in her own right, and always saving a place by the hearth for her errant partner.

The Great Ziegfeld screening
2018-01-03 19:30 - 22:26 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Great Ziegfeld (Robert Z. Leonard, U.S. 1936, 176 min., 35mm) as part of the Academy Awards at 90 series.
William Powell stars as Florenz Ziegfeld in MGM's extravagant salute to the equally extravagant Broadway producer. His life and loves (Best Actress winner Luise Rainer as Anna Held; favorite screen partner Myrna Loy as Billie Burke) are chronicled by the shows produced and the fortunes Ziegfeld made and lost. The studio pulled out all the stops on this supremely entertaining biopic that earned five Oscars out of seven nominations. Director Leonard took home the gold for balancing the spectacle with intimate moments between Flo and his many lovers and friends. Significantly it also snagged an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and Best Dance Direction for the "Pretty Girl is Like a Melody" number.

The Dryden will screen All About Eve (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, U.S. 1950, 138 min., 35mm) as part of the Academy Awards at 90 series.
"Fasten your seatbelts—it's going to be a bumpy night." Jealousy, manipulation, and betrayal unfold in this tour de force drama of an ambitious wannabe (Anne Baxter) who sets her sights on stealing the spotlight from legendary stage actor Margo Channing (Bette Davis). Insecurities and designer gowns abound as Margo desperately tries to hold onto her friends and career. Nominated for an unprecedented fourteen Academy Awards (to date, one of only three films to hold this record), All About Eve immortalized Davis's screen persona. George Sanders, Celeste Holm, and Marilyn Monroe costar.
