5 MOVIES ON THURSDAY(S)- OCTOBER 2017 l:lspm - DINING ROOM OCT. 5TH RANDOM HARVEST ( HRS/6MINS) A veteran of World War I, Charles Rainier (Ronald Colman) has lost all memory of his life before the war. Left to wander, Rainier meets a showgirl, Paula (Greer Garson), with whom he falls in love. Rainier and Paula are soon happily married, but when Rainier travels out of town, a car hits him -- erasing the memories of his life with Paula, but restoring those of his life before the war. While he returns to his previous life, Paula tries to find a way to be reunited with her husband. OCT. 12TH THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER ( HR/53MINS ) After he lets a robbery transpire right under his nose, the ever-bumbling Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) is suspended by Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lorn). But, when the famed Pink Panther diamond is stolen from the National Museum in Lugash, the Shah requests Clouseau's assistance, and he's reinstated. Clouseau quickly concludes that the thief must be the infamous Phantom, against whom he has a grudge, but the inspector's instincts are, as usual, wrong. OCT. 19TH AFTER THE THIN MAN (1936 1HR/52MINS) Recently returned home from vacation, private detective Nick Charles (William Powell) and his socialite wife, Nora (Myrna Loy), are back on the case when Nora's cousin, Selma (Elissa Landi), reports her husband Robert (Alan Marshal) missing. As the duo search for the disreputable Robert, Selma's friend David Graham (James Stewart), who secretly pines for her, aids the investigation. When the three begin to unravel Robert's secret life, the missing persons case turns into one of murder. OCT. 26TH SECONDHAND LIONS (2003 lhr/slmins) A shy adolescent boy, Walter (Haley Joel Osment), is taken by his greedy mother (Kyra Sedgwick) to spend the summer with his two hard-boiled great-uncles, Hub (Robert Duvall) and Garth (Michael Caine), who are rumored to possess a great fortune. At first, the two old men, both set in their ways, find Walter's presence a nuisance, but they eventually warm up to the boy and regale him with tall tales from their past. In return, Walter helps reawaken their youthful spirit.

12 Ban.tchcoLLEGE The Ci ty U_1ivcrsity o: N ~ w York The Photographs of Marcel Sternberger: Portraits of the 20'h Century October 6 - November 3, 2017 New York, NY-A Rediscovered Trove of Renowned Faces from The Marcel Sternberger Collection will be on view at the Sidney Mishkin Gallery at Baruch College, October 6 to November 3, An opening reception will take place on Thursday, October 5 from 6-8 p.m. When 30-year-old Jacob Loewentheil rediscovered the photographic archive of Marcel Sternberger, which included thousands of images, he was so intrigued by the portraits that he embarked on a five-year journey that culminated in the publication of a book, as well as this exhibition. The Photographs of Marcel Sternberger: Portraits of the 20 1 h Century consists of 40 images, including never-before-seen {' ( ~i:/ \ t ' i photographs of world-renowned luminaries such as Sigmund Freud, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, David Alfred Siqueiros, Albert Einstein, the Shah of Iran, Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, and George Bernard Shaw. Whether it was of a politician, a coal miner, or a child, Stemberger's portraits evidenced spontaneity and captured subjects with clarity and insight.

13 "Since his untimely death in an automobile accident in 1956, Sternberger's work has remained almost entirely out of the public eye," says Loewentheil, whose book The Psychological Portrait: Marcel Sternberger 's Revelations in Photography sheds light on the photographer's work. "Sternberger's iconic images of renowned men and women in this exhibition reveal his remarkable art to a new generation of admirers." The New York Times called Sternberger's methodology "a unique blend of psychological and photographic techniques." He believed in and defined "The Psychology of Portrait Photography," using both research and personal experience to navigate the complex process of a truly successful portrait session. Sternberger wrote, "The task of coordinating psychological understanding with aesthetical interpretation is tremendously challenging, particularly since it has to be compressed into such a relatively short time. You must concentrate all your carefully cultivated sensitivity, all your artistic experience to 'feel' your way into your subject's character, decide rapidly which his best [physical] points are, and how to exploit them to greatest advantage." About Marcel Sternberger Sternberger fled his native Hungary fearing reprisals after protesting the anti-semitic regime in the late 1920s. In Paris, he became a journalist for Le Soir, among other publications. In 1932, he moved to Berlin where he met his soon-to-be wife, Ilse. The two were to marry in June of 1933, but hmtiedly married in April when they learned that the Nazis planned on confiscating the passports of Jews. After detention by the Gestapo they went to Paris and soon after, Antwerp.

14 There he became Official Photographer to The Belgian Royal Family. As Nazism and Fascism spread across Europe, Sternberger and his family were able to flee to London with help from the Belgian Royal Family. After less than two years in London, he was invited by Franklin Delano Roosevelt to produce an official portrait in the White House. He would spend the next decade documenting luminary personalities across the United States. Later, he spent time in Mexico photographing the political and business elite and befriending Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. He died tragically in a car accident at the height of his career in About Jacob Loewentheil Jacob Loewentheil is an author, antiquarian bookseller, and rare photography dealer. His book, The Psychological Portrait: Marcel Sternberger 's Revelations in Photography, contains excerpts from Stemberger's unpublished manuscript, interviews with his prominent subjects, as well as approximately 206 photographs.
