Come to the movies this week! We, truly, have something for everyone–from a rom-com to a Western! Via the below, you can probably tell which is which.
THURSDAY, MARCH 7 @ 7:30 p.m.
Peg O’ My Heart (MGM, 1933)
Marion Davies stars in this pre-code romantic comedy-drama as Peg, a young woman from a poor Irish fishing village who stands to inherit £2 million. Here’s the catch – she’ll have to spend the next three years in England learning to be a “respectable lady” and she’ll will never be able to see her father again. The resulting culture clash / comedy of manners is made lively with a complex romance (forget the standard love triangle; this is a love hexagon!) and a sprinkling of singing and dancing. Black & White, 87 minutes. Plus a short subject.
FRIDAY, MARCH 8 @ 7:30 p.m.
Silverado (Columbia, 1985)
What happens when the screenwriter behind Return of the Jedi and Raiders of the Lost Ark takes a turn at directing a cowboy picture and recruits an eclectic cast including Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, John Cleese, Jeff Goldblum, and Kevin Costner to star in it? You get Lawrence Kasdan’s cult classic Silverado – an epic western packed with outlaws, gamblers, bar fights, gunslingers, villainous lawmen, jailbreaks, and even a stampede! Whether you’re a long-time fan of westerns or new to the genre you’re sure to find something to love about this film. Color, 135 minutes.
