Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. Short Cuts U.S., 1993 The sprawling mosaic of (largely) working and middle class Los Angeles in Short Cuts stands in striking counterpoint to the industry insularity of The Player. Coursing through the networked narrative of Robert Altman and Frank Barhydt’s script, adapted from the short stories of Raymond Carver, is a symphony of experience — love, jealousy, infidelity, tragedy, creativity, cruelty, farce, sheer stupidity — summoned up from the everyday. It’s a call back to Nashville in form but also finds Altman tilling new ground in his career-long exploration of the tensions between community, or at least its possibility, and individual desire. If The Player was Los Angeles as elitist enclave, Short Cuts is a portrait of Los Angeles as America writ large.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm 35mm, color, 188 min. Director: Robert Altman. Screenwriters: Robert Altman, Frank Barhydt. With: Andie MacDowell, Bruce Davison, Jack Lemmon.

Beyond Terror: Vincent Price on Television

Time Sat 9/27 • 7:30PM PDT

Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum • Los Angeles

In-person: Q&A with Victoria Price, author and daughter of Vincent Price, moderated by UCLA Alumn Gabz Norte. Join us for a screening of an eclectic mix of television programming inspired by the research paper, “The Ideology of Liveness, Theatricality, and the Star Persona: Vincent Price on Television,” written by archivist Gabz Norte. The paper was produced for the graduate seminar “Researching the UCLA Film & Television Archive,” taught by Maya Montañez Smukler (Head, Archive Research and Study Center) in UCLA’s Cinema and Media Studies program, Winter 2022. Screening the following: Beyond Terror: Vincent Price on Television Forever synonymous with blood-curdling terror, Vincent Price was much more than a horror legend. His refined taste and diverse talents epitomize the classic definition of a Renaissance man. Join us for an eclectic mix of television programming celebrating the beloved icon, including lighthearted daytime talk shows highlighting his deep knowledge of art and cooking, starring roles in prestige television dramas from Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling, and a biographical retrospective on This Is Your Life. On the Go: “Vincent Price” (U.S., 3/30/1960) — With original commercials! Vincent Price invites viewers into his home in Beverly Glen for a playful tour of his world-class art collection of rare works he acquired from around the globe. Along with host Jack Linketter, Price also welcomes fellow legend, director William Castle for an in-depth discussion of the horror genre for which they are renowned. Alfred Hitchcock Presents: “The Perfect Crime” (U.S., 10/20/1957) Under the direction of the master of suspense, Vincent Price embodies an urbane, egotistical master detective with an unusual hobby — he retains artifacts from his most infamous cases as trophies. The teleplay by future Academy Award-winner Stirling Silliphant (In the Heat of the Night) affords Price the opportunity to play a sophisticated connoisseur, a role he was quite familiar with in real life as an extremely knowledgeable art collector. Night Gallery: “Class of ’99” (U.S., 9/22/1971) A steely-cold Vincent Price pierces the small screen as a domineering proctor in a futuristic classroom where students must obey his every command, no matter how abhorrent. Set in 1999, Rod Serling’s chilling examination of bigotry and artificial intelligence proves prescient and shockingly relevant in 2025. Dinah! Guest starring Vincent Price (excerpts, U.S., ca, 1970s) This trio of endearing appearances on Dinah Shore’s popular daytime talk show illuminate Vincent Price beyond the horror genre. Highlights include Price sharing his refined culinary talents over a glass of wine with Dinah, an uproarious reminiscence of the Mercury Theatre with fellow guest Orson Welles, and a hilarious reading of an unexpectedly frightful text. This Is Your Life: “Vincent Price” (U.S., 3/18/73) From inside the Pickwick Book Shop on Hollywood Boulevard, Vincent Price finds himself ambushed by host Ralph Edwards for a life retrospective. In the course of the moving half hour, Price’s vital advocacy for Native American artists and their art is heralded, and the superstar is reunited with a litany of family members and well-wishers, including fellow legend Helen Hayes.

Beyond Terror: Vincent Price on Television

Time Sat 9/27 • 7:30PM PDT

Billy Wilder Theater

Part of: Archive Television Treasures Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment In-person: Q&A with Victoria Price, author and daughter of Vincent Price, moderated by author Gabz Norte. Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. Forever synonymous with blood-curdling terror, Vincent Price was more than a horror legend, with highly refined taste and diverse talents that epitomize the classic definition of a Renaissance man. With indelible contributions to cinema in feature films such as House of Wax (1959) and The Pit and the Pendulum (1961), Price personified frights in movie houses for over half a century. Concurrently, the medium of television allowed the accomplished actor to explore roles of additional dramatic depth and share a personal side steeped in deep knowledge of fine arts and culinary arts, punctuated by a disarming sense of humor. From lighthearted daytime talk show appearances to prestige TV dramas in primetime to blood-dripping tales at the drive-in, audiences warmly embraced all facets of Vincent Price — the beloved actor’s gentle, unpretentious nature standing in sharp relief to the grim visage that cemented his status as a Hollywood icon of the highest order. Join us for a screening of an eclectic mix of television programming inspired by the research paper, “The Ideology of Liveness, Theatricality, and the Star Persona: Vincent Price on Television,” written by archivist Gabz Norte.
