Cinema Studies continues with the rarely screened screwball BALL OF FIRE on September 16th! Tickets are available now at countytheater.org/specials

Hollywood legends Billy Wilder and Howard Hawks worked to adapt Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs into this delightful screwball comedy set in 1940s Manhattan. Barbara Stanwyck plays a showgirl on the run who takes refuge with a group of erudite bachelors, who recognize that her street smarts and jive talk fill a gap in their compendium of human knowledge. Modern linguists will respect Gary Cooper’s scholarly fight for descriptive rather than prescriptive grammar. Everyone else will appreciate Stanwyck’s stylish outfits and slangy witticisms, and S.Z. Sakall’s valiant defense of her honor.

In the follow-up to his star-making turn in The Big Boss, Bruce Lee redefines the kung fu genre by playing a former student who returns to 1910 Shanghai and finds that his beloved master has been murdered by a rival dojo. Armed with two of the deadliest weapons on earth (his fists), Lee set out on a blood-fueled quest for revenge. FIST OF FURY is one of Lee’s most successful films, in which he had complete creative control over the fight choreography — leading to some of the most realistic martial arts scenes ever captured. With subtitles.

𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 today at countytheater.org/specials

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: After 90 years of being trapped in legal limbo, this controversial Joan Crawford drama is ready to make its grand return to the big screen. Crawford pours her heart into the role of Letty, a Manhattan socialite trapped in a loveless affair with a cruel partner. She falls in love with another man on a steamship and goes to drastic lengths to leave her toxic relationship.

Goodbye Dolly! We’re celebrating the life of the late great Dolly Parton with a mini retrospective of two of her best films. Join us for STEEL MAGNOLIAS on September 5th and for THE BEST LITTLE WH******SE IN TEXAS on September 8th! Tickets to both are available now at countytheater.org/specials

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: This charming, campy musical may be about a brothel, but as Dolly assures us in her opening number, “there ain’t nothin’ dirty goin’ on!” Parton stars as Miss Mona, the no-nonsense madam of the famous Chicken Ranch brothel, while Reynolds plays the local sheriff—and Parton’s lover—who turns a blind eye to the Ranch’s activities. Their arrangement is threatened when a moralistic TV reporter launches a public smear campaign demanding its closure. Featuring nine Dolly songs, including “Sneakin’ Around” and a re-recording of “I Will Always Love You,” this beloved cult classic is the perfect send-off for the Queen of Country.

Dafoe is at his best alongside a wonderfully complementary performance from Greta Lee in this gentle rumination on art and authenticity.
