New York's most popular outdoor film festival returns to Bryant Park once again this year. Every Monday night at sunset, catch film classics, like The Sting, and oddball romances, like Harold & Maude, while enjoying an evening in the park. This week, bring a friend to see How Green Was My Valley on the big screen.
John Ford was justly famous for his monumental Westerns such as The Searchers, Stagecoach and My Darling Clementine. He was in a mellow mood when he directed this family melodrama set in a gritty Welsh mining town (actually shot in Malibu) with tender loving care.
Maureen O'Hara is a radiant heroine and Roddy McDowall will break your heart. Valley may be best remembered as the film that beat out Citizen Kane and Orson Welles for 1941's Best Picture and Best Director Oscars.
The lawn opens at 5:00pm for blankets and picnicking. The films begin at dusk (typically between 8pm and 9pm).
