About this event
Michael Curtiz directs Elvis Presley in the New Orleans-set drama widely reckoned to be Presley's strongest screen performance. It is the classic-Hollywood slot in this year's Bryant Park line-up and tends to draw a slightly gentler crowd than the blockbusters. Lawn opens at 5pm, film at 8pm; picnics encouraged, with food stalls and a bar on site from late afternoon.
Why we picked it
A 1950s studio classic on a Midtown lawn — the most atmospheric night in the Bryant Park August run.
Free entry
Free outdoor film screening, no ticket. Food, beer and wine on site are sold separately and are not required to attend.
