Screwball Summer Starring Cary Grant

In this month long tribute to the movies that film scholar Andrew Sarris called, "sex comedies without sex," we will screen some of the biggest screwball hits of the era — enduring escapist fair that is perfect to see with an uproarious crowd laughing uncontrollably. In celebration of member month at FilmScene, we've reinstated 1930s pricing for this series. All films are just 25 cents for new and existing FilmScene members!
