FAQ: Auditorium ProgramsAmerican director Jules Dassin (1911–2008), son of a barber from Connecticut, abandoned a promising Hollywood career during the blacklisting era of the 1950s and resettled in Europe. Marrying actress and, later, Greek culture minister Melina Mercouri, he shared a passion for Greek art and even urged the return of the Parthenon sculptures to Greece. Dassin died on March 31. His stance toward his life abroad is apparent in his work.
Introduction by Jay Carr
Inspired by Euripides' Hippolytus, Phaedra was a vehicle for Melina Mercouri, who is cast as the wealthy wife of Greek shipping magnate Raf Vallone. In the manner of the original tragedy, she has an affair with her younger stepson, played by Anthony Perkins in a tour-de-force performance. (1962, 35 mm, 115 minutes)
Dassin's Parisian gangster thriller maintains a place in film history for the famously detailed and wordless heist incident at its center. The film's stylish use of Parisian locations, however, is even more impressive, betraying an outsider's keenly susceptible awareness of place. (1955, 35 mm, 122 minutes)
