Program Description
Event Details
For the month of July, we will be showing movies starring Walter Matthau. Matthau was a star of the stage and screen for over 4 decades and won an Oscar, 2 Tonys, and a Golden Globe during that span. He specialized in playing curmudgeonly slobs that often played off of a contrasting character.
On this night, we are watching Walter in Joseph Sargent's 1974 film "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" also starring Robert Shaw and Martin Balsam. It is rated R.
Four armed men hijack a New York City subway car and demand a ransom for the passengers. The city's police are faced with a conundrum: Even if it's paid, how could they get away?
