“I sincerely believe that to see good films, and to see important films, is one of the most profoundly civilizing experiences that we can have as people.” -- Roger Ebert

SPECIAL EVENT — Dec. 1 — "Gigi"
When it was released in 1958, “Gigi” was the apex of MGM producer Arthur Freed’s career, and a high point for director Vincente Minnelli as well. The movie made four times its budget, and was nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning in every one of its categories, including Best Picture.
The movie is based on a 1944 novella, and stars Leslie Caron in the title role, a young Parisian woman being set up by her aunt to be a courtesan to the elite of society. But instead, she and noted playboy Gaston enjoy spending time together. Society tries to keep them apart, but… ah, l’amour.
“Gigi” is TPR President & CEO Ashley Alvarado’s pick for our off-season screening. She'll help introduce the movie to you at a special one-time-only screening on Tuesday, Dec. 1 at the Alamo Drafthouse Park North, at 7:30 p.m.
115 minutes, Rated G.
