His Girl Friday

His Girl Friday
Directed by Howard Hawks

Saturday, October 20, 3 pm

With some of the snappiest dialogue on the silver screen, unscrupulous editor Walter Burns (Cary Grant) convinces Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell) —his ex-wife and his star reporter—to take on one last assignment before retiring from the newspaper business to settle down with a mild-mannered insurance salesman. Hildy is tasked with interviewing a man placed on death row for murder and finds herself increasingly drawn into uncovering the truth whilst Walter tries everything he can to keep her on the job and in his life. 1940, U.S., video, 92 minutes. Recommended for 12+.


Deep in Vogue: Louisville’s Treasured Cinema

October 12 – 28

For over 20 years, the Vogue Theater was Louisville’s celebrated arthouse cinema with a plethora of screenings of classic Hollywood fare, foreign films, wild cult films, children’s matinees, American independent releases, and the ever-popular The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The cinema in St. Matthews packed houses and gave an informal film education to the region.

This fall marks the 20th anniversary since its closing and this series celebrates beloved films that played at the Vogue. In addition, there will be a display of ephemera from the Vogue preserved by former Vogue staff members and local cinema archivist David Conover.
