SUMMARY:Monkey Business / The Black Cat
DESCRIPTION: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.\n \n\nMonkey Business\n\nU.S.\, 1931\n\nThe Marx 
 Brothers’ third feature\, Monkey Business was the first of their anarchic 
 romps to be shot on Paramount’s Hollywood sound stages (previous outings 
 having been shot in Astoria\, New York) and its production design seems 
 particularly on display. Stowaways on a New York-bound luxury liner\, 
 Groucho\, Harpo\, Chico and Zeppo emerge from barrels of kippered herring 
 below deck to escape into an art deco wonderland from the ship’s barber 
 shop and promenades to a dazzling central staircase. The modernist environs 
 prove a perfect backdrop for their manic wit and breakneck zaniness as they 
 evade the ship’s crew and rival gangsters alike. \n\n35mm\, b&w\, 77 min. 
 Director: Norman McLeod. Screenwriters: S.J. Perelman\, Will B. Johnstone. 
 With: Groucho Marx\, Harpo Marx\, Chico Marx.\n \n\nThe Black Cat\n\nU.S.\, 
 1934\n\nA modernist mansion rises high into the mists of the Hungarian 
 mountains\, its bold lines and minimalist design immediately signaling that 
 The Black Cat isn’t your typical classic horror film. With the slightest 
 nod to Edgar Allen Poe’s short story (there’s a cat\, at least!)\, 
 director Edgar G. Ulmer and screenwriter Peter Rubic pile up terrors like 
 Universal was going out of business. When newlyweds on an Eastern European 
 honeyman find themselves stranded in the mansion\, caught up in a blood 
 feud between Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi\, they bear witness to 
 satanism\, necrophilia\, mass murder\, torture and\, of course\, 
 ailurophobia. \n\n35mm\, b&w\, 65 min. Director: Edgar G. Ulmer. 
 Screenwriter: Peter Ruric. With: Boris Karloff\, Bela Lugosi\, David 
 Manners.
LOCATION:Billy Wilder Theater\, UCLA Film & Television Archive
