January 9 - SOME LIKE IT HOT - Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon; MGM/UA; Directed by Billy Wilder
Black & White; Not Rated; 121 minutes; 1959
SOME LIKE IT HOT whirls through the flamboyant settings of Chicago and Miami Beach in 1929. Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe) is a ukulele-playing vocalist in an all-girl band. Two musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) on the run from the mob join Sugar’s traveling troupe by hilariously donning make-up and dresses to hide their identity.
February 13 - GIGI - Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan;
Turner/MGM; Directed by Vincente Minnelli;
Not Rated; 116 minutes; 1958
Leslie Caron is Gigi, a girl on the edge of womanhood and Louis Jourdan is the bored young playboy who falls in love with her. Maurice Chevalier sings the delightful Lerner-Lowe songs, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls," and "Gigi." Winner of nine Academy Awards® including Best Picture, GIGI is set in turn-of-the-century Paris.
March 12 - LILIES OF THE FIELD - Sidney Poitier, Lilia Skala;
MGM/UA; Directed by Ralph Nelson
Black & White; Not Rated; 97 minutes; 1963
Sidney Poitier won an Oscar® for his performance as Homer Smith, a jovial handyman who comes across a group of foreign nuns in the Arizona desert. The nuns persuade him, through whatever means necessary, to help them build a chapel. A sometimes odd, but always joyous relationship develops between Homer and the nuns.
