(1968) (176 min.) (Color) (DTS Digital Stereo) (70mm) (Rated G)

Julie Andrews, Richard Crenna, Daniel Massey, Robert Reed.  Directed by Robert Wise.  Gargantuan musical biopic of British stage star Gertrude Lawrence (the first "Mrs. Anna" opposite Yul Brynner in "The King and I").   Andrews and director Wise re-teamed after the huge success of "Sound of Music," hoping box office lightning would strike twice.   Alas, it didn't, and by 1968 the big-budget musical was almost dead.  But seen today, "Star!" can be appreciated for the spectacular production numbers, gorgeous cinematography (particularly in this newly restored, 70mm print), and an all-stops-out performance by Andrews.  A "must" for musical fans.

(1966) (174 min.) (Color) (DTS Digital Stereo) (70mm)

Michael Parks, John Huston, Richard Harris, George C. Scott, Ava Gardner, Peter O'Toole.  Directed by John Huston.  Well, OK, it's only the first 22 chapters of Genesis!  But here's Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Flood, etc.  All this, and Peter O'Toole cast against type as an angel!   The last of Hollywood's mega-budget Biblical spectacles that kicked off, more or less, with "The Ten Commandments" a decade earlier.  See it for the all-star cast and the beautifully restored 70mm print, but don't take it as the gospel.  (ahem...)
