Maurice Chevalier's "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" is just one of the wonderful songs in Lerner and Lowe's marvelous score for this beloved Best Picture, praised by Jonas Mekas in the Village Voice for having "more imaginative use of cinema than all our recent pseudo-realist movies put together."

What Can We Do about Twenty-First Century Racism?
2018-02-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Rochester Baha'i Center, 693 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
Presented by Derik Smith. Even as interpersonal and explicit "racism" is on the decline, institutional racism holds steady and perpetuates old forms of social disenfranchisement in new ways. Many of us are adept at identifying and opposing easily recognized kinds of racism, but if we want to be on the front lines of the struggle to bring about a more just and equitable society, we must deeply consider our engagement with the institutions that produce racist outcomes today.

The Godfather screening
2018-02-03 19:30 - 22:25 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, U.S. 1972, 175 min., 35mm) as part of the Academy Awards at 90 series.
One of the biggest box office hits of all time, The Godfather was dubbed "Gone With the Wind of gangster movies." Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel, this epic rejuvenated the genre and can be seen as a metaphor for corruption on a larger scale, in both government and corporate America. Marlon Brando gives a legendary performance as Don Vito, the powerful head of the Corleone family, who takes care of business using whatever means necessary. The Godfather garnered three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor (refused by Brando amid great controversy).

The Dryden will screen On the Waterfront (Elia Kazan, U.S. 1954, 108 min., 35mm) as part of the Academy Awards at 90 series.
Marlon Brando gives a spectacular performance as an ex-prizefighter who faces off against a corrupt union boss in this dynamite drama about the deplorable working conditions on the New York docks. Columbia studio head Harry Cohn objected to the film's location shooting in Hoboken, New Jersey, and predicted box-office doom, but On the Waterfront proved a sensation on its release. The misty, shadowy docks were brilliantly captured in black and white by cinematographer Boris Kaufman, Leonard Bernstein provided the haunting score, and Rod Steiger, Eva Marie Saint, Karl Malden, and Lee J. Cobb round out the powerhouse cast.
