SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: The Thomas Crown Affair
DESCRIPTION:THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR 1999\, 113 minutes \nAs cinematic confections go\, the two Thomas Crown Affairs are notable in that they are windows into the times that made them. The first film\, released in 1968 and set in Boston with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway\, is an exercise in mid-sixties cool. But in the story of a bored tycoon who stages a robbery for kicks\, only to find himself falling for the investigator\, there was a distinct sense ennui from that period. \nIn the 1999 remake with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo\, there is no languor whatsoever\, as the film embraces Giuliani’s New York in all its hubristic glory\, with the city coming across as flush\, fun\, benign\, and safe––an illusion that would be swept away two years later. But the film is undeniably buoyant\, with Brosnan’s unflappable\, unknowable billionaire meeting his match in Rene Russo’s insurance investigator. If Faye Dunaway played the role in 1968 as the embodiment of glam\, Russo is a force of nature\, determined to bring down Thomas Crown––all the while enjoying the chase until their affections catch up with them. The third star of the film is Dennis Leary\, his acerbic persona in top form as a jaundiced but ethical police detective who provides a reality check as Brosnan and Russo’s cat-and-mouse romance grows ever more intense. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated R\, with smoking\, drinking\, profanity\, sexuality\, nudity\, art theft\, corporate leveraging\, musical appropriation\, getting tasered\, and snagging a seat at Cipriani’s without a reservation.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: The Automat
DESCRIPTION:THE AUTOMAT 2021 79 minutes \nBefore there was McDonald’s\, before there was Howard Johnson’s\, there was Horn & Hardart’s Automat\, once the largest restaurant chain in America. The Automats were essentially cafeterias with food portions behind coin-operated glass doors\, which may not sound all that appetizing from today’s perspective\, but from the 1920s to the ‘50s New Yorkers saw them as the height of modernity\, and by most accounts the food was good. This documentary is full of fond memories about the rise and fall of a Gotham institution\, with reminiscences from Mel Brooks\, Colin Powell\, Ruth Bader Ginsburg\, Carl Reiner\, Elliott Gould\, and Howard Schultz. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated TV-PG\, with drinking\, mostly profanity\, sexual overtones\, urban decline\, 5-cent coffee\, well-remembered pie\, and Mel Brooks singing.

SUMMARY:WPL Film Club @ The AIC: Radio Days
DESCRIPTION:RADIO DAYS 1987\, 88 minutes \nTo do a New York On-Screen series without a Woody Allen film is like depicting FDR without the cigarette holder or the Titanic without the Iceberg. Toxic analogies aside\, he is obviously a problematic figure\, but seeing how there are bigger\, louder New Yorkers who have done nasty things and retired to the Sunbelt\, we might as well show one of his films. The question is–– which Woody? \nThere are the obvious choices: his breakthrough Annie Hall or Manhattan\, which celebrated the city but also presaged his demons. The choice has not been an easy one\, but we decided to go with Radio Days\, a nostalgic comedy-drama about an extended working-class family on Rockaway Beach in Queens during the Golden Age of Radio. Although not part of the cast\, Allen narrates the film from the perspective of Joe\, a boy whose world is shaped by the family radio––its music and programs emanating from glittering\, far-away Manhattan. \nBE ADVISED–– This film is rated PG with smoking\, drinking\, mild profanity\, off-screen violence\, sexuality\, nudity\, lots of kvetching\, and Woody Allen.
