–Also at BAM on Friday, March 12 at 2, 4:30, 7, 9:30pm: A Place in the Sun (1951) directed by George Stevens with Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Shelley Winters. George Stevens takes on Theodore Dreiser’s monumental opus An American Tragedy in this adaptation featuring Clift in one of his defining roles: an ambitious social climber caught between his pregnant, working class girlfriend (Winters) and a wealthy socialite (Taylor). Each in their prime, Clift and Taylor’s chemistry and beauty are captured in Stevens’ electrifying, erotically-charged close-ups.
MUSIC
–Friday at 9PM at the BAM Cafe: “A powerful performer” (The New York Times), jazz vocalist Elisabeth Lohninger trades conventional standards for more modern fare, lending her minimalist alto to songs by The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, and others for a series of brilliant, less-is-more re-imaginings.
–Friday at 10 PM at Barbes: Gorgeous vocal harmonies interwoven with guitar and ukulele, the Moonlighters are as comfortable with classic Hawaiian melodies as they are innovative with their original songwriting.
–Saturday at 8:30 at the Jewish Music Cafe: Kol Dodi and the 7 ft. bassist, Jootsy Szaba
