Over the years, Hollywood has offered countless stars, but only a handful of true
icons. These film actors transcend the realm of fame - of film, even - to reach a more
profound level of significance. Whether you call it high-concept, star-power, or je ne
sais quoi, these figures are indelibly etched in our consciousness. Their faces, their
manner of speaking, moving, dressing, and the sheer way they make us feel when they grace
the screen all create an ineffable and irreplaceable iconic power.
Join us at the Egyptian and Aero Theatres for a month-long salute to some of the
greatest screen icons in the history of cinema. We pay tribute to Humphrey Bogart in IN A
LONELY PLACE and THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE, Marilyn Monroe in GENTLEMAN PREFER
BLONDES and THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH, Clark Gable in THE MISFITS and SAN FRANCISCO, Bette Davis
in ALL ABOUT EVE and THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, John Wayne in THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY
VALANCE and RED RIVER, James Dean in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE and EAST OF EDEN, Grace Kelly
in REAR WINDOW and DIAL M FOR MURDER, Frank Sinatra in ROBIN AND THE 7 HOODS and
OCEANS ELEVEN, and, as a special birthday celebration for the King of Rock n
Roll, Elvis Presley in BLUE HAWAII!

Double Feature: ALL ABOUT EVE,
1950, 20th Century Fox, 138 min. Seemingly timid fan Eve (Anne Baxter) ingratiates herself
into Broadway mega-star Bette Davis inner circle in this backstage, backstabbing
masterpiece by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Eve wastes no time stealing Davis spotlight and
man (Gary Merrill), but Davis takes nothing lying down. A superb supporting cast (George
Sanders, Marilyn Monroe, Thelma Ritter and Celeste Holm) brings New York's theater set to
life. "Fasten your seatbelts...its going to be a bumpy night." [35mm] Trailer
THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, 1942, Warner
Bros., 112 min. Dir. William Keighley. In this wonderful comedy Monty Woolley is an
acid-tongued New York critic and radio commentator who breaks his leg after slipping on
ice in front of an upper-class Ohio familys home. Forced to remain immobile while he
recuperates, he takes over the household during the holidays, bringing in his secretary
(Bette Davis) who promptly falls for a local newspaperman (Richard Travis). When Woolley
begins to realize he may lose his prized assistant, he calls in sexy actress friend Ann
Sheridan to put the moves on the object of Davis affection. With some poisonously
funny dialogue and a sterling supporting cast, including Billie Burke, Jimmy Durante,
Reginald Gardiner and Mary Wickes. [35mm] Clip | Buy Tickets

Double Feature: IN A
LONELY PLACE, 1950, Sony Repertory, 94 min. Dir. Nicholas Ray. A brilliant, moody
drama of a screenwriter (Humphrey Bogart) accused of murder, and the starlet (Gloria
Grahame) afraid to trust him. On one level, a poisonous rejection of all things Hollywood;
on another, a love triangle of almost demonic intensity between the director and his two
stars. Although Dorothy B. Hughes original novel also possessed a desolate ending,
Rays equally downbeat climax was quite different and undoubtedly did not find favor
with the studio powers-that-be. Co-starring Frank Lovejoy. [35mm] Trailer
THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE,
1948, Warner Bros., 124 min. Dir. John Huston. Based on the novel by famous recluse B.
Traven, TREASURE stars Humphrey Bogart in one of his greatest performances as flea-bitten
adventurer Fred C. Dobbs, who hooks up with fellow packrats Tim Holt and Walter Huston to
search for gold in the mountains of Mexico. The film that launched a thousand imitations
with the classic refrain, "We dont need no badges." Winner of
Academy Awards for Best Picture, Director (John Huston) and Supporting Actor (Walter
Huston). [35mm] Trailer

50th Anniversary! BLUE HAWAII, 1961, Paramount, 101
min. Dir. Norman Taurog. Before all the formula 60s movies that turned Elvis Presley
from an icon into a self-parody, there was this sparkling original that subsequent
filmmakers sought to use as the cookie-cutter guarantee to Presley movie success.
Sumptuous cinematography, frothy plot, pleasing comic turns, skillful acting from co-stars
Angela Lansbury and Joan Blackman, and songs as enchanting as the island paradise all aim
to please. From "Rock-A-Hula Baby" to "Can't Help Falling In Love" and
the title song - this is classic Elvis 2.0, post-army and pre-rhinestone. The movie and
the soundtrack were among the most successful of his career. [35mm] Elvis' birthday will be celebrated at the new Maui and Sons Restaurant
in the Egyptian's courtyard. Activities, food and drink specials, karaoke and more
starting at 4 PM. Details online.

Double Feature: REAR WINDOW,
1954, Universal, 112 min. James Stewart is L.B. Jeffries, an ace photographer stuck in a
wheelchair after breaking his leg. Despite receiving visits from his high-fashion
sweetheart, Lisa (Grace Kelly), Jeffries is bored and soon resorts to spying on his
tenement neighbors through a telephoto lens. Suddenly, he realizes he may be privy to the
alarming disappearance of his neighbors ill wife. [35mm] Trailer
DIAL M FOR MURDER, 1954, Warner Bros., 105 min.
Dir. Alfred Hitchcock. Suave, cold-blooded Ray Milland plots to murder his beautiful wife
(Grace Kelly) and leaves the key to their apartment outside for his hired killer (Anthony
Dawson). When the killer has a bit of trouble - to put it mildly - with a pair of
scissors, a new Pandoras box of complications opens up. Unfortunately, scheming
Milland may still be able to pull off his plan - that is, unless Kellys old flame,
Robert Cummings and unflappable Scotland Yard inspector John Williams can determine what
really happened that fateful night. Maestro Hitchcock masterfully adapts Frederick
Knotts hit stage-play to the big screen (it was originally presented in 3-D). [35mm]

Double Feature: New Digitally Restored 35mm Print! GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, 1953, 20th
Century Fox, 91 min. Dir. Howard Hawks. Complementary bombshells Jane Russell and Marilyn
Monroe wreak havoc on the male libido in this classic Howard Hawks farce of two nightclub
singers set loose onboard a Paris-bound luxury liner. Jane and Marilyn show their gift for
flawless comic timing in every scene - and their musical duets together, including
"Two Little Girls from Little Rock" and "Bye Bye Baby," are simply
priceless. [35mm] Trailer
THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH, 1955, 20th Century Fox,
105 min. In this classic comedy from director Billy Wilder, family man Richard Sherman
(Tom Ewell) finds his faithfulness tested when his wife and kids go on vacation - leaving
him alone to consort with the voluptuous, beautiful woman next door (Marilyn Monroe).
Features the now-iconic shot of Monroe getting her skirt blown upwards over a blustery
sidewalk grate. [35mm] Trailer
