The Dryden will screen Sabrina (Billy Wilder, U.S. 1954, 113 min., 35mm) as part of the Eastman Entertains series.
Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) is the daughter of the chauffeur for the Larrabee family. When she returns from two years of school in Paris, she reconnects with David Larrabee (William Holden), the younger brother, whom she had pined for before she left. Knowing that a relationship with the irresponsible, thrice-divorced David would be bad for both Sabrina and his business, older brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) attempts to woo Sabrina away from David. Bogart plays against type as the stuffy Linus, while both Holden and Hepburn are at the height of their star power, and director Billy Wilder is in the midst of his most creative period.

He speaks to and for people of all ages, lifestyles, and perspectives, and is a story-teller, covering love, life, loss, confusion, and hope. He does so with energy and wit, joined with a strong sense of humor and perspective.

Notting Hill screening
2019-05-08 19:30 - 21:34 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Notting Hill (Roger Michell, U.S./U.K. 1999, 124 min., 35mm) as part of the Julia Roberts series.
Julia Roberts was the "one and only choice" for the role of Anna Scott, according to director Roger Michell and screenwriter Richard Curtis. Anna, an American film actor on a press junket in London, has a meet-cute with bookstore owner Will (Hugh Grant), which turns into a series of romantic-comedic difficulties and, ultimately, disappointment. Over the years, however, the two can't get each other out of their heads, and subsequent trips to London make it possible for a relationship between a Hollywood superstar and a shy bookseller possible. One of Roberts's most popular films, it also provides one of her most famous lines.
