About this Event
A deliciously bitchy showbiz comedy mixed with a delightfully twisted whodunnit -- dressed to the nines in1970s resort wear -- THE LAST OF SHEILA will keep you laughing, gasping, and guessing.
James Coburn stars as a ruthless Hollywood producer whose wife is killed outside their Bel Air home during a party. A year later, he reunites the guests -- starlet Raquel Welch and her hot-tempered manager/boyfriend Ian McShane, frustrated screenwriter Richard Benjamin and his wealthy wife Joan Hackett, past-his-prime director James Mason, and loudmouth agent Dyan Cannon -- for a week of fun and games on a yacht in the French Riviera that soon turns deadly.
The one and only movie written by the dynamic duo of Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins continues to rack up new fans five decades after its original release. Filmmaker Rian Johnson cited the film as a direct inspiration for "Knives Out" and particularly its sequel "Glass Onion."
Special Guest -- Alonso Duralde is Chief US Film Critic for The Film Verdict, author of Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, and coauthor of I’ll Be Home for Christmas Movies. He is the cohost of the Linoleum Knife, Maximum Film!, and Breakfast All Day podcasts, and has discussed film on CNN, PBS, TCM, and ABC, as well as in numerous documentaries.
