Retrospective: David Lean- "Oliver Twist" and "Blithe Spirit" Double Feature See how Lean takes on adaptations of Charles Dickens and Noel Coward in newly restored prints.

(115 mins., 35mm) A rare comedy by Lean, Blithe Spirit stars Rex Harrison as a cynical novelist whose current marriage is disrupted by the ghost of his first wife, visible only to him. Noel Coward wrote the script from his own 1941 play. (95 mins., 35mm) Blithe Spirit begins at 9:05 PM. |
