The Swimmer (1968)
– 95 minutes
Say goodbye to summer parties with this film based on the
famous John Cheever story of the same name. Burt Lancaster stars in this
portrayal of fading WASP social life as he jumps from one neighbor’s pool party
to another pool party, ‘swimming’ his whole town. It is an affecting
examination of changing social mores and cultures; those which preserve and
those which don’t.
Wednesday, September 9th at 6pm
Three (1969)
– 105 minutes
Say goodbye to summer vacation travels with this portrayal
of two American college friends (played by Sam Waterson and Robie Porter)
spending their summer driving around Italy and France in an old Puegeot. They
soon finds themselves rivals for the attentions of a mysterious woman (played
by Charlotte Rampling). A fascinating look at how an architectural and cultural
environment can affect emotional outlooks, this is the only film directed by
the great and recently deceased novelist James Salter.
Thursday, September 10th at 6pm
Land of the Pharaohs (1955) – 106 minutes
Say goodbye to summer blockbuster fun with this Sword and
Sandal throwback. The only major film of its period to give importance to
the characters of the architect and builders, this tells the tale of a captured
architect who designs an ingenious plan to ensure the impregnability of tomb of
a self-absorbed Pharaoh, obsessed with the security of his next life. It stars
Joan Collins, Jack Hawkins and James Robertson Justice with a script written in
part by William Faulkner.
The Foundation’s President Alexander C. Ives will present a
short introduction, linking the films with the causes and work of the
Preservation Foundation.
