Description:
[NOTE EARLY START TIME]
(United States, 1955, 119 minutes, b/w)
Directed by Otto Preminger. Starring Frank Sinatra, Eleanor Parker, Kim Novak
To celebrate Nelson Algren's centenary the Writers Institute offers a rare glimpse into the life and work of a great American novelist by two equally great novelists he inspired, Don DeLillo, who joins the Writers Institute in a rare public appearance, and Russell Banks, recent State Author. DeLillo and Banks will speak about their mentor after the screening of this gritty tale of jazz, heroin, hep-cats and low-lifes in post-war Chicago, Algren's famously-named "city on the make." Frank Sinatra plays against type and turns in what is often considered to be his best performance on screen.
