Film Series: Sirens of the Silver Screen
This event is not available online.
Several major Hollywood films were adapted from the story of Smith and Libby. Join us as we screen three of these films this fall including Douglas Sirk’s Written on the Wind (1956). The setting has been changed to Texas and the family’s source of wealth is oil rather than tobacco, but similarities to the Reynolds’s family story remain. This film earned co-star Dorothy Malone an Academy Award, playing opposite Robert Stack, Lauren Bacall, and Rock Hudson.
An introduction and discussion will be led by Dale Pollock, former dean of the School of Filmmaking at University of North Carolina School of the Arts.
Presented by Mike and Debbie Rubin.
