Sunday Cinematheque at the Chazen: Douglas and de Havilland at 100!
Enjoy our salute to two legendary actors who turn 100 in 2016. A force in Hollywood for over four decades, Olivia de Havilland distinguished herself as a contract player at Warner Bros. during the late 1930s and early 1940s, appearing as leading lady to Errol Flynn in action spectaculars like Captain Blood. Later on at Paramount Studios, she won two Oscars for The Heiress and To Each His Own. A supporting player in a handful of late-’ 40s features, Kirk Douglas quickly rose to the ranks of leading man and practically invented the notion of the anti-hero in such Hollywood features as Champion and Ace in the Hole. Later, Douglas formed his own powerful production company, Bryna, and appeared in some of the best-remembered films of the’ 50s and’ 60s, like Stanley Kubrick’ s Paths of Glory, The Vikings, and Lonely are the Brave.
The 160-seat Chazen auditorium is equipped for 16 and 35mm film as well as digital and high-definition projection. The Sunday Cinematheque film series runs September through mid-May and features films and shorts curated by Cinematheque director Jim Healy. The free screenings are at 2 p. m. In consideration of the audience, no one is admitted after 2:15 p. m.
Captain Blood screens December 18 at 2 p. m.
