Cinema Club Presents
ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS
Sunday 9/19, 6:30 @Ritz
Advance tickets available here
Alamo's Cinema Club, the series that brings film historians to the Alamo for a night of classic film discussion, is proud to bring Dr. Charles Ramirez Berg back, to present the Howard Hawks picture ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS. A stark and tough drama starring wise-guy Cary Grant, daffodil Jean Arthur, and the smoky Rita Hayworth, this film is not to be missed by anyone.
There has never been another American filmmaker whose peculiar style of work has harmonized so well with the popular tastes of so many divergent types of people as Howard Hawks. If the mention of his name calls to mind the tortuous arguments of auteurists and other intellectual contortionists we must also remember that his films were big hits with the public at large. Hawks' films are about people. They are dioramas where fascinating personalities roam freely, doing their jobs with spectacular competence and honor as they live by a code - the Hawksian code if you will - bred in the bone, a secret democratic chivalry, a communality of the self reliant.
Come Sunday to learn more about Hawks and to see one of the greatest films of Hollywood History!
