Aero Theatre presents a Shirley MacLaine double feature of the following films:
The Apartment:
Jack Lemmon ingratiates himself with his corporate colleagues by lending out his apartment for their extramarital affairs – but his promotion plans backfire when he falls head over heels for boss Fred MacMurray’s new gal-pal, Shirley MacLaine. Oscar winner for Best Picture, Director and Screenplay (Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond).
Being There:
In one of his most sublime performances, Peter Sellers stars as a simpleton who gains great influence when his pronouncements are mistaken for profundities in director Hal Ashby’s hilarious adaptation of the Jerzy Kosinski novel. As gardener Chance, he must leave the Washington, D.C., estate to which he’s tended his entire life after its owner dies. Wandering the streets, he’s struck by a limousine and taken under the wing of its passenger, Eve Rand (Shirley MacLaine), and her power-broker husband (Oscar winner Melvyn Douglas). Be sure to stay through the end credits!
