OLLI of Greater Birmingham presents American Classic Films. As with our prior film series, these classics will be followed by insights from professional theatre critics (see olli.ua.edu for specifics).
Jan 4: Hannah & Her Sisters. Woody Allen’s classic starring Mia Farrow.
Feb 1: Possessed (Clark Gable, Joan Crawford). Pre-Code films were openly exploitative, lurid, and very adult.
Mar 1: To Kill a Mockingbird (Gregory Peck). Based on Alabama author Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning book.
Apr 5: All About Eve (Bette Davis). The inside story of Broadway and a conniving actress.
May 3: Mildred Pierce (Joan Crawford). A jilted wife starts a business, raises daughters, and gets involved in a murder.
First Fridays, January thru May.
