The Dryden will screen An American in Paris (Vincente Minnelli, U.S. 1951, 113 min., 35mm) as part of the National Endowment for the Arts series.
Gerry (Gene Kelly) is an American expatriate living the life of a bohemian painter in post-WWII Paris. Struggling to find success in both art and love, his life is turned upside down when he meets and falls in love with Lise (Leslie Caron). This lavish musical—with its straightforward story, gorgeous dance sequences, and beautiful, frequently melancholic Gershwin score—won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Kelly deservedly gets praise for his skillful and acrobatic dancing, but it's Oscar Levant, playing his acerbic buddy, who steals the film and gives it a cynical edge that continues to appeal to modern audiences.

2017-08-30 19:30 - 21:38 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen 42 (Brian Helgeland, U.S. 2013, 128 min., 35mm) as part of the America's Favorite Pastime series.
Uniform number 42 was retired across all of major league baseball in 1997 to honor Jackie Robinson, who ultimately broke the color barrier preventing black players from joining major league rosters. This dramatization of that fateful 1947 season stars Chadwick Boseman as Jackie, who endured endemic racism while leading the Brooklyn Dodgers to the National League pennant, and Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey, the general manager of the Dodgers who hand-picked Robinson. The George Eastman Museum is proud to present one of the few 35mm prints made of this modern classic.

Switching identities causes a series of mix-ups for the characters in this musical comedy. Robert Young stars in a double role as a movie star and a businessman who look so similar that they decide to switch places. Of course, this causes more problems than it solves. The film also features legendary comedy duo George Burns and Gracie Allen, as well as dancer Eleanor Powell.
