Living with Legends

According to sources, Director Thorold Dickinson lived at the Chelsea in the late 50s for a number of years and was a friend and collaborator of Virgil Thomson. "Power Among Men," which was produced by Dickinson, features an original score written by Thomson. Beginning now through March 24, you have a rare opportunity to view Dickinson’s films at the Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theatre.  (Image from Gaslight)

Unfortunatley, the Thomson film is not part of the offerings — damn it. On the upside, you’ll get a chance to see the orignal English version of “Gaslight” for which Ingrid Bergman won an Oscar in the American remake.
