"I know life is short. Whatever time you get is luck." Finally saw Heat on the Big Screen at @AFISilver, had to get tricked out in my best gear and throw on my goofiest grin.

This was a delight - thanks for answering my question on the fashion in the film - it feels timeless - this still could be a Sargent painting

Director Otto Preminger took a stand against Hollywood’s Production Code. With his 1959 courtroom drama, Anatomy of a Murder, he waged a battle for creative freedom. See it 4/28 and 5/1 @AFISilver. buff.ly/4b4SfRy

Well, this will be fun. On July 13, I'll be introing a screening of A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN at @AFISilver. I hope my DC people will be there. I can't think of much better than watching that movie on a big old screen in the middle of summer. silver.afi.com/Browsing/Movi…
