Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club presents: ‘Dinner at Eight’
Check out this 1933 pre-code dramedy at The Lindsay!
May 31 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
The Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club is bringing Golden Age romance, drama and screwball comedy to The Lindsay.
We are partnering with PCMC to show 1933’s Dinner at Eight on Sunday, May 31, at 1 p.m. Academy Award-winner George Cukor directed this opulent tale of romantic entanglements, business intrigue and personal crises during one particularly memorable dinner party.
Tickets to Dinner at Eight are on sale for $11. PCMC president Wendy Whittick will provide a special introduction prior to the screening.
Cukor’s career spanned five decades and also included 1940’s The Philadelphia Story, 1944’s Gaslight, 1954’s A Star is Born remake and 1964’s My Fair Lady—for which he won a Best Director Oscar.
In Dinner at Eight, affluent Millicent (Billie Burke) and Oliver Jordan (Lionel Barrymore) throw a dinner for a handful of wealthy and/or well-born acquaintances, each of whom has much to reveal. The film’s all-star cast also includes Marie Dressler, John Barrymore, Wallace Beery and Jean Harlow.
The Pittsburgh Classic Movie Club’s mission is to preserve and promote classic film from the Golden Age of Hollywood—defined as films released between 1910 and 1969—in this region. PCMC holds screenings throughout the Pittsburgh area, and often partners with The Lindsay on exclusive classic film events.
