The first ever film major at the Rhode Island School of Design, the first female president of the Directors Guild of America, and the first to cast Nicolas Cage as a lead in a feature film, the legendary Martha Coolidge will be joining the American Cinematheque in-person for another iconic first: our first retrospective devoted to her work as a trailblazing filmmaker.

Films include: Not A Pretty Picture, Valley Girl, Real Genius, Angie, Lost In Yonkers, Rambling Rose, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, The Prince And Me And Out To Sea

Closing out the retrospective, the American Cinematheque voyages into open waters with one last essential Coolidge rom-com, starring Walter Mathau and Jack Lemmon. Brothers-in law forced to pose as dance instructors aboard a cruise ship to secure their passage, the pair stumble through their routines before meeting Liz (Dyan Cannon) and Vivian (Gloria DeHaven), and falling overboard in love.
