At The Pictures – Twentieth Century (1934)

ASSOCIATED EVENT

Howard Hawks’ 1934 screwball comedy classic stars John Barrymore and Carole Lombard as two bickering lovers on Broadway. Oscar Jaffe (Barrymore) is an egomaniacal Broadway impresario. When he discovers shopgirl Mildred Plotka (Lombard), Jaffe succeeds in transforming her from a talented amateur into a theatrical darling, Lily Garland. But after a string of hits together, Lily is sick of their tempestuous relationship and Oscar’s outrageous behaviour. Drawn by the allure of Hollywood, she skips town, leaving Oscar’s career in crisis. Rated PG. Tickets include a sweet treat. Duration 91 mins

Please note that the Saturday 7.50pm screening has been cancelled
