A two-time Academy Award winner (for KING
SOLOMON’S MINES and BEN-HUR), Ralph Winters began his career at MGM
in the early 1940’s and went on to edit such classics as ON THE TOWN, SEVEN BRIDES
FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, JAILHOUSE ROCK, THE PINK PANTHER, THE PARTY and THE THOMAS CROWN
AFFAIR. There will be a booksigning of Winters’ new autobiography Some Cutting Remarks - Seventy Years A Film Editor (Scarecrow Press) from 6:15 - 7:00 PM prior to the screening.
GASLIGHT, 1944, MGM (Warner Classics), 114 min. Director George Cukor’s classic Victorian thriller stars the radiant Ingrid Bergman (in an Oscar-winning performance) as an innocent wife driven to near-insanity by her apparently-loving husband (Charles Boyer), in order to claim a fortune in jewelry. A terrific supporting cast includes Joseph Cotten, Angela Lansbury (in her first feature role), and Terry Moore. HIGH SOCIETY, 1956, MGM (Warner Classics), 107 min. Dir. Charles Walters. Effervescent, star-studded remake of THE PHILADELPHIA STORY with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra as the romantic triangle who croon their way through one of Cole Porter’s finest scores. Co-starring Celeste Holm, Louis Armstrong. Discussion between films with editor Ralph Winters, actress Terry Moore (GASLIGHT) and film historian Tony Slide (schedules permitting).
