About this event

Part of Weekend Classics: 1941’s Greatest Hits, this film follows encyclopedist Professor Bertram Potts (Gary Cooper), who ventures into New York’s streets to research current slang. He meets Sugar Puss O’Shea (Barbara Stanwyck), who uses his home as a hiding place from her gangster boyfriend. Written by Billy Wilder and directed by Howard Hawks, the film is an early-1940s riff on the Snow White story.
