Event Description : "Mr. & Mrs. Bridge" film screening. 

Mr. and Mrs. Bridge (1990) for which Ruth won the New York Film Critics Best Screenplay Award, is set in Kansas city in the 1930s and is about the stifling autocracy that icy Mr. Bridge (Paul Newman) imposes on his devoted wife India (Joanne Woodward) and their three children. It is due to Newman's perfectly starched performance, which plays well against Woodward's more tremulous support, that the movie is so watchable-- Washington Post, 1991. 

Duration : 126 mins 

Director : James Ivory

Cast : Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Saundra McClain
