Exploring the Arts: James Stewart

Exploring the Arts: James Stewart

Of all the superstars of classic Hollywood, Jimmy Stewart played the widest range of roles. Just below the surface of his image as a folksy everyman, there was a simmering rage that made him a surprisingly powerful screen presence. In this talk, we will survey Stewart’s most important films, from the screwball comedies of his early career to the dramas he made for Frank Capra and his westerns with Anthony Mann. We will also try to visualize an invisible, six-foot-tall rabbit.
