Lenny (Fosse, 1974): Prince Charles Cinema, 6pm
This 35mm presentation is part of the Bob Fosse season at the Prince Charles Cinemw. You can find the full details here.
Prince Charles Cinema introduction:
Controversial comedian Lenny Bruce (Dustin Hoffman) begins his career telling bad jokes to bored audiences in the 1950s, but can't repress his desire to unleash edgier material. When he does, he begins a one-man campaign to break down social hypocrisy, and his groundbreaking stage act propels him to cult-hero status. When authorities ban Lenny's act for obscenity, he begins a downward spiral of drugs, sex and debt, aided by his bombshell wife, a stripper named Honey (Valerie Perrine).
Here (and above) is the trailer.
