Join us every Saturday afternoon for classic movies – these are hard-to-find movies that aren’t easily streamed.
Saturday, February 7th – “Roman Holiday”, starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. Directed by William Wyler, this 1953 film tells the story of a young princess (Hepburn) feeling stifled by official duties who escapes during a visit to Rome and meets an American newsman (Peck). Story and screenplay by Dalton Trumbo (with others), nominated for 10 Oscars, the film won three Oscars – Best Actress, Best Story and Best Costume Design. Filmed entirely on location in Rome, this was Audrey Hepburn’s first major film role.
This recurring event is a fundraiser for Corazones de Oro, a Cuenca non-profit that helps vulnerable groups and also provides assistance to other local non-profits.
Location – Otorongo Lounge, in Otorongo Plaza at the foot of La Condamine by the El Vado bridge just outside of the historic center.
Come between 2 and 3 PM to order lunch and beverages – full bar available. Attendees are expected to order something to consume from Otorongo Lounge, as we wish to support their generous hosting of our weekly event.
The movie will start at 3 PM and runs for two hours.
There will be a brief introduction of the film before screening and, if desired, a discussion of the film afterwards.
Suggested donation $5.
