Our Classic Movie Nights series takes a delightful detour into Screwball Country with Ernst Lubitsch’s final completed film, the effervescent Cluny Brown! 

Jennifer Jones is Cluny—a spirited, plumber-loving young woman whose knack for bursting social bubbles gets her sent off to service in a country manor. There, she collides with Charles Boyer’s dashing, penniless intellectual hiding from the Nazis (as one does), and the result is a whip-smart satire wrapped in romantic whimsy. Lubitsch, the master of sophisticated comedy, skewers British class structures with his trademark light touch and sly innuendo, delivering laughs with a wink and wisdom with a smile.

Not quite a romance, not quite a farce, Cluny Brown is a story about people who don’t quite fit—but maybe fit each other perfectly.

Make sure to get to the screening early, as our Marketing Director Bekah will be doing a very informative and entertaining presentation on the film before it starts!
