Cinephiles, film connoisseurs, and people who just love classic movies unite for an evening of timeless cinematic beauty. This continuing series showcases the work of directors who possessed a particular eye for stylish aesthetics and gorgeous compositions. While some directors used film to create high intellectual art and others exploited the medium for mere thrills, Salmagundi Library Movie Night presents the rare geniuses who gave us both.

The evening will feature a film introduction by Michael Fetherston. Please note that the dining room will be closed, so popcorn will not be provided for this film.

May’s movie night will be an encore performance by pianist Terry Waldo as he dazzles us with his virtuosity and accompanies Hal Roach’s 1923 silent masterpiece, Safety Last. Hailed by critics and fans alike as one the greatest silent films of all time, Safety Last is a romantic comedy packed with thrills, spills, and stunts that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first frame to the last. Lloyd performs all of his own stunts and features a legendary scene that finds him dangling from a clock high above downtown Los Angeles. Please join us for this very special performance and please the matinee start time!
