50th Anniversary Screening

Ryan O’Neal and Marisa Berenson star in Stanley Kubrick’s lavish, Oscar-winning adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s classic 18th-century novel about the rise and fall of a sensitive and dashing rogue. Forced to leave Ireland after killing an English officer in a duel, handsome young Redmond Barry (O’Neal) seeks his fortune as a soldier in Prussia, as a spy, and then as a gambler living among the elite of Europe. He changes his name and marries an aristocrat (Berenson) for her wealth, but will he finally gain the acceptance he seeks?
