Paramount Theatre (1965) (154 min.) (Color) (Stereo) (70mm) (Restored)
O'Toole, James Mason, Eli Wallach, Jack Hawkins. Directed by Richard Brooks. Following his sensational performances in "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Becket," O'Toole strode into this lavish adaptation of Joseph Conrad's tale of an idealistic 19th century British Merchant Marine whose life was scarred when he was discredited as a coward. Recently restored to its original 70mm splendor, "Lord Jim" falls short of dramatic greatness but is a gorgeous reminder of the '60s epics in all of their visual magnificence.
The Paramount Summer Film Series happens every summer from late May until early September. Details of the current series and additional screenings can be found on the Paramount Performance Calendar.
