8:15pm: Til The Butcher Cuts Him Down
1971 PROFILE OF A JAZZ GREAT, KID PUNCH MILLER, TRUMPTER
"The film shows two Punch Millers. One is a musician who's still in superb form, in footage from Preservation Hall and from his last public performance, at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. His puckish solos cut through the Preservation Hall nostalgia, and at a Heritage Festival rehearsal the trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie all but takes notes. Miller also sings a few choruses of the blues in a smooth, droll style all his own." (Reviewed By JON PARELES, NY TIMES 1983)
9:15pm: King Creole
1958, ELVIS PRESLEY, WALTER MATTHAU
Having flunked graduation for a second time and needing cash to support his crabby (and thus unemployed) father, Danny Fisher takes a job as a singer in the King Creole nightclub - about the only joint around not run by smarmy crook Maxie Fields who wants him for his own place. He gets on pretty well with Fields' floozy though, and all this plus his involvement with Fields' hoods and with innocent five-and-dime store assistant Nellie means Danny finds his world closing in on him all ways round. (Includes scenes shot in the Preservation Hall courtyard and carriageway!)(imdb.com)
