ABOUT THE PODCAST: What movies would make it into the film festival of your life? The American Cinematheque has operated since 1985 as a year-round film festival. In our new podcast, we’re asking friends and filmmakers – like Edgar Wright, Karyn Kusama, Mary Bronstein, Larry Karaszewski, and so many more – to program their own personal film festivals! They’ll talk about their favorite films and most formative movie-going memories with our host, Grant Moninger, to create the film festival of their lives and celebrate the theatrical experience. ABOUT THE FILM: In English and Italian with English subtitles An ambitious Italian attorney has his flight delayed in Los Angeles. The vapid lawyer goes to some parties with some Italians living there and has a brief affair with a beautiful Italian expatriate. Restoration funded by the Golden Globe Foundation.
