| 9/12 | Animal Crackers Groucho Marx plays African explorer Capt. Spaulding, who’s just returned to the states to inflict comic carnage on the highfalutin party of society matron Mrs. Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont). Groucho regales the partygoers with tales of his adventures in the wild (”I shot an elephant in my pajamas; how he got there I’ll never know” and so on). Meanwhile, Harpo chases blondes, and Chico connives. |
| 9/19 | Raging Bull Robert De Niro won the Oscar for his portrayal of self-destructive boxer Jake LaMotta in Martin Scorsese’s widely acclaimed biopic. De Niro’s powerful performance, combined with Scorsese’s black-and-white realism, paints a raw portrait of a tormented soul unable to control his violent outbursts. Cathy Moriarty and Joe Pesci also star. |
| 9/26 | Bringing Up Baby Love blooms for a hapless scientist and an unstoppable heiress in Howard Hawks’s classic screwball comedy. Out to win the heart of paleontologist David (Cary Grant), heiress Susan (Katharine Hepburn) lures him to her home. The hilarity begins when Susan’s dog steals David’s prize dinosaur bone and her pet leopard, Baby, is mistaken for a zoo escapee. One madcap adventure follows another as they try to save Baby — and ultimately fall in love. |
