HARPER @ AFI. Tuesday March 31st @ 9:15 PM.
Hardboiled private detective Paul Newman is hired by smoky millionaire Lauren Bacall to find out what's happened to her uniformly despised missing husband. There is no short supply of suspects and double-crossers in this all-star cast: sexpot daughter Pamela Tiffin and her freeloading boyfriend Robert Wagner, drug-addicted musician Julie Harris, aging actress Shelley Winters and her unstable husband Robert Webber. Janet Leigh also has a turn as Newman's long-suffering wife.
THE COLOR OF MONEY @ AFI. Tuesday April 7th @ 6:30 PM.
Newman won the Best Actor Oscar for this Martin Scorsese-directed reprisal of pool shark "Fast Eddie" Felson, the character he vividly portrayed in THE HUSTLER. Twenty-five years later, Eddie is a Cadillac-driving, smooth-talking liquor salesman who hasn't touched a pool cue in decades until he sets eyes on up-and-comer Tom Cruise. Sensing his opportunity to break back into the big time, Eddie takes him and his ambitious girlfriend Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio under his tutelage for a shot at a big money tournament.

I'd be down to see Harper. I've seen the Color of Money before. Good movie, but I'd rather see something I haven't seen before.
