Friday, August 29, 7:00 p.m.
Dir. Douglas Sirk. 1956, 99 mins. 35mm. With Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone. In Sirk's operatic melodrama, secret loves and unrequited passions destroy a wealthy Texas oil man and his family. As described by Sirk, 'it was a piece of social criticism, of the rich and the spoiled and of the American family.' Malone won an Oscar for her startling portrayal of the millionaire's nymphomaniac sister.
