1980 movie shot in Cain Park receives rare screening

Frank Langella, Glynnis O’Connor and Tom Hulce star in Michael Pressman’s 1980 film, "Those Lips, Those Eyes", an affectionate remembrance of 1950s summer stock theatre that was filmed largely in Cain Park. The 1980 movie, which has never been released on DVD, will receive a rare theatrical screening on Saturday, Aug. 6, 7 p.m. at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, 11141 East Boulevard in University Circle.

"Those Lips, Those Eyes" was written by David Shaber, an ex-Clevelander who worked at Cain Park when he was a student. The film tells of a frustrated actor (Langella) awaiting his big break, a young premed student (Hulce) who turns starstruck stage manager during one unforgettable summer, and the company ingénue (O’Connor) who is the object of his affections. The movie lasts 107 minutes and is rated R.
