ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Paul Mazursky directed and co-wrote the hilarious Down and Out in Beverly Hills—featuring Bette Midler, Richard Dreyfuss, and Nick Nolte, along with a memorable performance by Little Richard—based upon Jean Renoir’s 1932 comic gem Boudu Saved from Drowning. Both Renoir’s and Mazursky’s works tell of of a bum who, when his life is saved, shakes the very foundations of the families who save him.
Don’t miss this chance to watch both classics back-to-back on the big screen and discover what film critic Pauline Kael called “a lovely fable…and a photographic record of an earlier France” (Boudu) and “one of the most sheerly beautiful comedies ever shot” (Down and Out).
