He portrays a gay female impersonator who tries to find true love in a heterosexual world. With Matthew Broderick and a terrific performance by Anne Bancroft as Fierstein's mother. DRIVE-IN MOVIE NIGHT Michigan Theater 9:15 Frank Uhle brings another night of campy classics to the Michigan Theater. First is High School Confidential (Jack Arnold, 1958) about pot-smoking, drag-racing teams, and with a moral message. Starring"RusshTamblyn, Mamie Van Doren, and Jackie Coogan. Then comes Missile To The Moon (Richard Cunha, 1958) about stowaway youths who find the moon inhabited by gorgeous girls. Interspersed will be drive-in, intermission ads and previews for other campy films. Fun for all!! THRONE OF BLOOD (Akira Kurasawa, 1957) MLB 3 7:00 & 9:00 Kurasawa has the unique ability of bringing Shakespeare from the stage to the screen, in another language, in another time setting, and still keeping it as powerful as the original. This time it is Macbeth, with Toshiro Mifune as the usurper, set among fuedal Japan. Both beautiful and stirring in Kurosawa's own style. THE LAST HOLIDAY (Henry Cass, 1950) Aud A 7:00 Alec Guiness is told that he has but a short time to live, so this farm equipment salesman goes to live among the rich and famous. There he lands a contract for a new invention, but will the profits do him any good? THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT (Alexander MacKendrick, 1952) Aud A 8:45 Again Alec Guinness is an inventor, but this time he comes up with a fabric that is indestructable, undirtiable, and could easily revolutionize the garment industry. This doesn't please the garment magnates so they try to stop him in one of the funniest comedies to come out of anywhere ever. GAY SHORTS NIGHT MLB 4 7:00 & 8:30 Many films about gay males and lesbians have been restricted to a shorter format due to lack of financial backing, but that hasn't prevented some good work from being done anyway. Tonight's program includes What Can I Do?, Foolish Things, and Sleepin' Round, all by Gus Van Sant, the director of Mala Noche, among others. SATURDAY FELLINI'S SATYRICON (Frederico Fellini, 1970) MLB 4 7:00 & 9:30 Nero laughed and fiddled while Rome Burned. Fellini laughed and fiddled around as he made this film about Nero. Fellini, Italy's bizarrely imaginitive director, gives his own interpretation of the debauchery that surrounded Nero's court way back when. NOVEMBERMUND (Alexandra von Grotte, 1984) MLB 3 7:00 & 9:00 This story of one woman's collaboration with the German Army in an attempt to save the life of the woman she loves won the grand prize at both the San Francisco and Berlin Lesbian and Gay Male Film Festivals.
