Preceded by Short: Movies March On, a 1939 March of Time newsreel in which The Museum of Modern Art Department of Film receives an award for its film collection and exhibition program, with an overview of the Department and the industry. (20 mins, 35mm, Print from MoMA with permission of Time-Life Video) Dodsworth is a rarely revived classic and inexplicably so, for it is a superb, stylish adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' novel and quite ahead of its time in depicting the nuances of a middle-aged marriage disintegrating when it is exposed to the elements. Walter Huston and Ruth Chatterton are Lewis' Sam and Fran Dodsworth, two childlike middle Americans adrift in Europe, where sophisticated gigolos and worldly wise women eat proud, self-made Americans for breakfast. Walter Huston, recreating his stage role, gives one of the greatest performances of his career, and he is ably supported by a fine cast which includes Mary Astor as his shipboard lover, a gay and youthful David Niven, and that quintessential old-guard European, Maria Ouspenskaya. With sets conceived by Richard Day captured in the rich grey tones of Rudolph Maté's cinematography, Dodsworth is well served by a beautifully preserved print.
