Cluny Brown Series: Saint and Sinner: The Tempestuous Career of Jennifer Jones [May 16 – 24] Director: Ernst Lubitsch, Country: USA, Release: 1946, Runtime: 100 “A satire of British manners that skitters along the border of complete absurdity… The way Jones plays Cluny Brown, she’s a radiantly sexual woman who has never had sex. She’s naturally uninhibited, and she frightens the devil out of everyone but Boyer’s sophisticated European.” – David Denby, The New Yorker Critics Molly Haskell and Andrew Sarris will introduce the 6:15pm screening on Friday, May 16. Ernst Lubitsch’s late masterpiece Cluny Brown is a little-known, sophisticated comedy romance with serious overtones and performances that bubble with charm and wit. Cluny (Jennifer Jones), a plumber’s niece sent to work as a servant at an English country estate, refuses to acknowledge her station in life. She finds a kindred spirit in Professor Belinski (Charles Boyer), a European intellectual on the run from the Nazis. The two displaced souls form a bond, though Cluny focuses her attentions on Mr. Wilson (the hilarious Richard Haydn, who enlivened many Hollywood films in the ‘40s), a pompous chemist attached to the apron strings of his dour mother (the great Una O’Connor). Jones and Boyer, two utterly different actors, are beautifully in-sync in this amusing tale of manners and mores in upper crust England, as the two outsiders try to accommodate themselves in an uncomfortable world where rule breakers are not meant to dally with rule makers.
