Out of Africa in 35mm
The memoir of Danish author Karen Blixen (published under her pen name Isak Dinesen) was adapted by director Sydney Pollack and screenwriter Kurt Leudtke for this lavish romantic drama, focusing on the years Blixen (Best Actress nominee Meryl Streep) spent running a coffee farm in Nairobi and her relationship with hunter Denys Finch-Hatton (Robert Redford). Out of Africa was nominated for 11 Oscars and won seven including Best Picture, Directing (both for Pollack), Adapted Screenplay, Art Direction, Cinematography and Sound, with John Barry winning his fourth Oscar for an achingly romantic score.

The Joker is Wild in 4K
This gritty biopic dives into the smoky, dangerous glamor of Prohibition-era Chicago for the true story of nightclub performer Joe E. Lewis, famous for being one of the few people who could make gangster Al Capone laugh. Crooner Frank Sinatra, lauded by the film's marketing as “the most electric personality of our time,” follows Lewis’s highs and lows with the same realism and range he brought to The Man with the Golden Arm (1955). Ol’ Blue Eyes also adds musical dimension to the character — the real Lewis was more comedian than singer—with director Charles Vidor (no relation to fellow director King) compounding his experience with musicals and comedies into a story with dramatic nuance.

Notorious with Guillermo del Toro
Director and lifelong Alfred Hitchcock fan Guillermo del Toro delivers an in-depth lecture on this quintessential spy thriller from the Master of Suspense, followed by a screening.
The date of this event has moved to June 25. For questions or to request a refund, email museumtickets@oscars.org.
One of Hitchcock’s most significant masterpieces marries a tense post-WWII espionage drama with an intense love story. Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman play charming agent T. R. Devlin and patriotic American Alicia Huberman, whose father is a convicted Nazi. Helplessly head over heels for Devlin, Alicia cannot refuse when he asks her to spy on and seduce Alexander Sebastian (Claude Rains), a Nazi hiding out in Rio de Janeiro. Elegantly formulated camera movements orchestrated with dense, emotional performances iterate Hitchcock’s incomparable sensibility and mastery of the cinematic language of suspense.

River of No Return
Marilyn Monroe’s appearance in Western genre films required designer Travilla to create costumes ranging from saloon-style gowns to casual denim looks. Monroe wanted her character, Kay—a kind-hearted saloon singer torn between an ex-convict (Robert Mitchum) and her troubled fiancé (Rory Calhoun)—to have a natural feel. Her acting coach, Natasha Lytess, and director Otto Preminger clashed over whether Monroe should use her typical breathy voice, with the studio backing Monroe’s decision to forgo it.

There's No Business Like Show Business
The Donahue clan, led by husband and wife Molly and Terry (Ethel Merman and Dan Dailey), navigate the ups and downs of show biz, from their beginnings in Vaudeville to the Great Depression, in this musical comedy with songs by Irving Berlin. The family’s close bond is further tested with the arrival of the talented and driven Vicky Parker (Marilyn Monroe). Costume designer Travilla played an integral role in shaping Marilyn Monroe’s public image on- and off-screen. Together they famously produced looks that evaded censorship while still courting controversy. His designs for her showgirl characters are of particular note.

The Prince and the Showgirl in 35mm with Bus Stop
The Prince and the Showgirl in 35mm
In this sole collaboration between Warner Bros. and Marilyn Monroe Productions, Monroe plays Elsie Marina, a witty American showgirl who gets noticed by the eccentric Prince Regent Charles (Laurence Olivier). Set in Edwardian London and directed by Olivier, the film was a famously troubled production, with tension between co-stars and cinematographer Jack Cardiff. The film was shot at Pinewood Studios outside London; Monroe’s difficulties on and off set were adapted into Simon Curtis’s fictional My Week with Marilyn (2011), with Michelle Williams starring as Monroe.

Let’s Make Love
Director George Cukor’s musical comedy was Monroe’s second-to-last completed film. She plays a bohemian off-Broadway actor who is in a show satirizing a French billionaire, Jean-Marc Clément (Yves Montand). While scoping out the production, Clément is cast in the play and the two fall in love, though deception threatens to ruin everything. Monroe worked closely with costume designer Dorothy Jeakins to draw inspiration from her personal style for the film’s looks.

The Misfits in 4K
Penned by Arthur Miller, this contemporary Western centers on the recently divorced Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe) and her relationship with an aging former cowboy, Gay (Clark Gable), who now survives by rounding up wild mustangs to sell them to a slaughterhouse. Considered a commercial failure at the time of its original release, the film has since been regarded as a classic by critics and audiences, perhaps notably because it was the final completed film of both Gable and Monroe, and a fitting bookend to Monroe’s career—she credited Huston for her first big break in his The Asphalt Jungle (1950).
