Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Omar Shariff, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Claude Rains. Directed by David Lean. Quite simply one of the great films of all time (# 7 on the AFI Top 100 list) and the ultimate use of 70mm. The story of romantic adventurer T.E. Lawrence's involvement in the WWI British activities in Arabia, told with an intelligence and literacy that grows richer with each viewing, as does Freddie Young's unsurpassed cinematography of the gorgeous and unrelenting desert. Multiple Oscars, including Best Picture, Director, Cinematography, Score. O'Toole scores with what must be the most remarkable debut in film history. Restored print!
Closing Night Party: Festivities will begin at 6:15 and will feature live camels under the Paramount Theatre marquee. Head inside the Theatre to enjoy a display of classic film memorabilia by collector and film expert Jim Tumblin. Plus, we'll have performances by traditional belly dancers in the Paramount Lobby.

Lord Jim
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.
