For those in Los Angeles, the Egyptian Theatre hosts an Art
Directors Society screening of director John Schlesinger’s Day of the Locust on Sunday, September 23 at 5:30 p.m. Starring Donald
Sutherland, Burgess Meredith and Karen Black as 1930s Hollywood players
suffering against the backdrop of the soulless yet glitzy façade of the
industry, the 1975 movie suffers frequently in celebration and remembrance due to the stacked slate of
other films of that year, but it’s a compelling work that holds up quite well. This
screening is a tribute to art director Richard MacDonald, and followed by a
discussion after the screening with his widow, Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth
Myers. Tickets are available through Fandango, but for more information, call (323) 466-FILM
and/or click here.
