Henry James on Screen
Henry James novels chronicling the passions and missteps of 19th century Americans and Europeans have been the inspiration for countless film and television adaptions over many years. This exhibition related series features three of the most successful adaptions of his works, The Golden Bowl (2000), The Portrait of a Lady (1996), and The Heiress (1949).

The Golden Bowl
Director: James Ivory
(2000, 131 minutes, Rated R)
An extravagantly rich American widower (Nick Nolte) and his sheltered daughter (Kate Beckinsale), both of whom marry only to discover that their respective mates, a beautiful American expatriate and an impoverished Italian aristocrat (Uma Thurman and Jeremy Northam), are entangled with one another in a romantic intrigue of seduction and deceit.  Director James Ivory will join the screening and introduce the film. 

The exhibition Henry James and American Painting will be open at 6:00 pm for program attendees.
