The Mikes are starting the presses on Forgotten Cinema season 7 with The Front Page, directed by Billy Wilder and starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.

Join Mike Field and Mike Butler as they discuss how this film is one of many remakes of the original stage play from the 20\'s and how that helps much of what makes this film so great. The Mikes also talk the great set design and how some of the acting and staging seem to come from stage plays themselves. Then Field and Butler will discuss how great Lemmon and Matthau are in this film; one of 11(!!!) films that they made together. They\'ll also discuss the many other amazing actors and filmmakers in The Front Page, including the prolific Billy Wilder himself who made some amazing films.

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
