Screening
Phantom of the Paradise

Part of Paul Williams
Friday, January 25, 2013, 7:00 p.m.

With Paul Williams in person

Dir. Brian De Palma. 1974, 92 mins. DCP. With William Finley, Paul Williams, Jessica Harper, Gerrit Graham. Williams stars as the satanic record producer Swan, and he also wrote the songs for DePalma’s deliriously entertaining rock movie. DePalma merges The Phantom of the Opera and Faust into the world of glam rock while telling the story of a songwriter who seeks revenge on a malicious music mogul. The movie gleefully spoofs the corporate world of the recording industry.

Tickets for Friday evening screenings: $12 ($9 for senior citizens and students / free for Museum members) and includes admission to the Museum's galleries, which are open until 8:00 p.m.
