UCLA’s Festival of Preservation: Fredric March, Edgar G. Ulmer



Fredric March in The Buccaneer

Next at UCLA's Festival of Preservation at the Billy Wilder Theater in Westwood:

  • On Wed., April 15, at 7:30 pm: Efraín Gutiérrez's Run, Tecato, Run (1979), described as a real-life inspired tale that "depicts a junkie's efforts to get off heroin in order to reclaim and raise his daughter." Actor-director Gutiérrez is expected to attend the screening.
  • On Fri., April 17, at 7:30 pm: Lester James Peries' Gamperaliya (1964), a "seminal" work in Sri Lankan cinema that has been compared to Satyajit Ray's Apu Trilogy. Gamperaliya tells the story of "a teacher and member of the new rising middle class, who falls in love with the daughter of his village's leading aristocratic clan. Defensive positions are assumed and the girl's parents insist upon a marriage to a stuffed shirt of her own class."
  • On Sat., April 18, at 7:30 pm: Director Edgar G. Ulmer's Ruthless (1948) is described as both a "complex psycho-melodrama" and "Ulmer's Citizen Kane." Zachary Scott, Louis Hayward, and Diana Lynn star in this tale of greed and ambition.
  • On Sun., April 19, at 2:00 pm (at the Melnitz, also in Westwood): Cecil B. DeMille's The Buccaneer (1938), starring an oddly miscast Fredric March as Jean Lafitte (above, with Akim Tamiroff).
  • On Sun., April 19, at 7:00 pm: "Legacies from the ONE Archives," featuring films and videos from the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives (approx. 45 minutes running time). Don Kilhefner, Lillian Faderman, Malcolm Boyd, Mark Thompson, and Joseph Hawkins are expected to show up at the screening.

    I really enjoy the old films the black and whites shown bring back memories. It is a shame they are no longer shown and others cannot watch them.
