ONE SHOW ONLY - A Part of The Music Box 70mm Film Festival 2022
70mm with DTS Sound from Fox/Disney
One of the Hollywood Studio System’s last really wonderful big budget Broadway musical adaptations, HELLO, DOLLY!stars Barbra Streisand as matchmaker Dolly Levi. Walter Matthau is the "well-known, unmarried half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder, who needs a match. Part of the film’s $25 million budget went towards restoring Pennsylvania Railroad Steam Locomotive 1223 for the number “Put on Your Sunday Clothes.” Directed by Gene Kelly (who incidentally hated the widescreen format, but made do), and with choreography by the great Michael Kidd, HELLO, DOLLY! is a joy to behold.
***Originally booked for two screenings in our 2020 festival, this special archival print can only screen once! Don’t miss it!***
