November To Remember
3 Memorable Movies

Presented In Memory of Bob Eberenz*

(See below for explanation)

November 20 & 21
At the Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theatre
A Not-For-Profit Arts Center In a Historic Movie Palace

Friday, November 20 at 8PM
“Monsieur Verdoux” — Starring Charlie Chaplin. Also starring Mady Correll, Isobel Elsom, Audrey Betz, Ada May, Martha Ray. Directed by Charlie Chaplin. (1947, 124mins, B&W) Chaplin called this film his “cleverest and most brilliant”, but he is certainly not the familiar Tramp in it. He plays a suave serial killer who makes his living marrying and murdering lonely rich women. Chaplin turned this shocking conceit into a black comedy that seems surprisingly modern to us today — especially in its presentation of the hypocrisy of societies that damn murder by individuals but praise war.
A rare big screen revival.

Saturday, November 21 at 2PM
“For Whom the Bell Tolls” — Starring Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, Akim Tamiroff, Katina Paxinou. Directed by Sam Wood. (1943, 157mins., Color) Based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” is a romantic drama set against the turbulent tapestry of the Spanish Civil War. Though downplaying the extreme ideological aspects of the war (which Hollywood found uncomfortable), the film is otherwise largely faithful to Hemingway’s writing and boasts excellent performances, torrid love scenes, and first-rate Technicolor photography.
Screened in a restored, archival print from UCLA.

Saturday, November 21 at 7:30PM
“Forbidden Planet” — Starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen. Directed by Fred Wilcox. (1956, 98mins, Color, CinemaScope)
One of the most famous science fiction movies ever made. A pre-comedy Leslie Nielsen as a space traveler who discovers the planet where expatriate Earth-man Pidgeon has built a one-man empire with his daughter and the iconic Robby the Robot. Great special effects for the day, the film also boasted lavish use of the wide-screen CinemaScope and MGM’s early form of stereo called Perspecta.

A rare chance to enjoy this CinemaScope masterpiece on the Loew’s 50 foot W-I-D-E screen.
A VERY rare screening using the ORIGINAL PERSPECTA SOUNDTRACK!

Separate Admission for each screening is just for adults, for seniors (65+), children (12 & younger) and students with ID.
OR — Combo Discounts available for multiple screenings over the weekend.

Discount off-street parking is available in Square Ramp Garage adjoining the Loew’s. Patrons must validate their parking ticket before leaving the Loew’s.

What’s Special About Seeing A Movie At The Loew’s? The Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theatre is one of America’s grandest surviving Movie Palaces. We show movies the way they were meant to be seen: in a grandly ornate setting — on our BIG 50 ft wide screen! The Loew’s runs reel-to-reel, not platter, projection, which often allows us to screen an archival or studio vault print that is the best available copy of a movie title.

The Loew’s Jersey is managed by Friends of the Loew’s, Inc. as a non-profit, multi-discipline performing arts center.
