INDIANAPOLIS — Fort Wayne native Carole Lombard will make her second appearance at the Garfield Park Arts Center’s 2016 Vintage Movie Nights on Sat., Feb. 20, at 7 p.m., in Rumba (1935) with frequent co-star George Raft.
Film historian Eric Grayson will screen this film featuring Raft as a dancer who runs afoul of the mob and escapes to Cuba. Lombard plays a bored society girl who becomes his new dance partner. As always, Grayson will introduce the film, show a short feature before the film, and host a Q&A afterwards. Both the short and the film are from his extensive personal collection.
Admission is $5; concessions, $1. For more information, visit www.gpacarts.org or call 317.327.7135.
On March 26, also at 7 p.m., see the third Lombard film of our Bicentennial year, the popular 1942 comedy, To Be or Not to Be, with Jack Benny. This was her last film before dying in a plane crash after leaving a war-bond drive in Indianapolis.
