ABOUT THE FILMS:
AND THE BAND PLAYED ON, 1993, Dir: Roger Spottiswoode, 141 Minutes, HBO Films, USA.
Matthew Modine stars as epidemiologist Don Francis in this heart-wrenching biopic based on the 1987 book by Randy Shilts. As deaths among the LGBTQ+ community rise in metropolitan centers around the country, Don dedicates himself to discovering the cause of the mysterious illness known as AIDS, battling cutbacks due to Reaganomics and political disputes between international scientists along the way. A tribute to the thousands of lives lost in an era of uncertainty and prejudice, Arnold Schulman’s screenplay is brought to life by an ensemble cast including Alan Alda, Ian McKellen, Lily Tomlin, Richard Gere, Steve Martin, Anjelica Huston, and more.
FORMAT: DCP
LOVE WITH THE PROPER STRANGER, 1963, Dir: Robert Mulligan, 102 Minutes, Paramount Pictures, USA.
Screenwriter Arnold Schulman earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay with this romantic drama starring Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen as two young New Yorkers dealing with an unexpected pregnancy. Enamored with the idea of a “bells and banjos” romance, Angie (Wood) defies her traditional older brothers and demands the care and respect she deserves from the would-be father of her child, Rocky (McQueen).
