Just a reminder that tonight at 6:30pm at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (in the Bruno Walter Auditorium at Amsterdam Avenue and 65th Street) we are doing a free screening of Brian De Palma’s disastrous film adaptation of the classic Tom Wolfe novel THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES!!! The real treat is that BEFORE the screening tonight there will be a conversation between The New York Times Arts journalist Dave Itzkoff and author Julie Salamon whose book The Devil’s Candy details the fascinating and deeply troubled production of the film. Following the screening Ms. Salamon will take questions from the audience!
