OSUToday sponsored by the Wexner Center for the Arts
Join us Thursday for a screening of Melvin and Howard at the Wexner Center in honor of Frank Gabrenya, longtime film critic for the Columbus Dispatch. Gabrenya will introduce one of his favorite movies, the endearing, Oscar-nominated 1980 comedy directed by Jonathan Demme, about an ordinary milkman who picks up a stranded hitchhiker — real-life Howard Hughes — in the desert. The truth comes out when Howard leaves Melvin $156 million (yes, the film is based on a true story). Read more: http://www.wexarts.org/fv/index.php?eventid=3923 |
