The screening will be followed by a conversation between Leonard Maltin and Scott Eyman, author of the new DeMille biography EMPIRE OF DREAMS: THE EPIC LIFE OF CECIL B. DEMILLE.
Eyman will be signing copies of his book.
This sounds like an absolutely marvelous evening for fans of classic film. I actually own the DVD which came out last year, but I haven't watched it yet. I can't imagine a more perfect setting to see CLEOPATRA for the first time than the Egyptian Theatre!
September 22nd Update: A review of the film and a description of tonight's event at the Egyptian has now been posted.
That sounds like a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy it and I'm looking forward to your post.
ReplyDeleteI saw Sign of the Cross on the big screen at the Harvard Film Archive. It was great seeing a DeMille film in that way.
I'd love to see SIGN OF THE CROSS. What a great cast!
