This
heartwarming
family drama,
adapted by
Ernest Thompson
from his own
hit play, focuses
on the life
of the aging
Thayers, Ethel
and Norman
(Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda), about to spend their
48th summer at their beloved New England country home. But
this summer, their estranged daughter Chelsea (Jane Fonda)
pays a visit, and soon a lifetime of grudges, resentments and
family secrets will get a full airing. Three Oscar wins, including
Best Actress for Hepburn, Best Actor for Fonda and Best
Screenplay by Thompson.
DIR Mark Rydell; SCR Ernest Thompson, from his play;
PROD Bruce Gilbert. US, 1981, color, 109 min. RATED PG
WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
Sat, Apr 26, 11:00 a.m.; Wed, Apr 30, 9:30
Famous for its Saul Bass-
directed opening title
sequence featuring a prowling
black cat—and its over-the-
top camp appeal—WALK
ON THE WILD SIDE boosted
the career of a young starlet
named Jane Fonda. During
the depths of the Depression,
Texan dirt farmer Dove
Linkhorn (Laurence Harvey)
heads to New Orleans hoping to track down his long-lost
girlfriend Hallie Gerard (Capucine). On the bus ride there,
he meets Kitty Twist (Fonda), who goes to work at the Doll
House, a brothel run by sadistic madam Jo Courtney (Barbara
Stanwyck), whose star attraction turns out to be none other than
Hallie.
DIR Edward Dmytryk; SCR John Fante, Edmund Morris, from the novel by Nelson Algren;
PROD Charles K. Feldman. US, 1962, b&w, 114 min. NOT RATED
CAT BALLOU
Sun, Apr 27, 11:00 a.m.; Wed, Apr 30, 7:30
Cat Ballou is all ball! It’s that way-out whopper of a funny
western…a she-bang to end all she-bangs! Lee Marvin
won the Best Actor Oscar for his dual role as the fearsome,
noseless gunfighter Tim Strawn and the hapless Kid Shelleen,
formerly a gunman of some repute but now a drunken has-
been. Catherine Ballou (Jane Fonda) returns home to Wolf
City, Wyoming, from schooling in the East and soon must
avenge the death of her rancher father Frankie (John Marley),
murdered by Strawn. Strapping on her six-shooters, “Cat”
Ballou becomes an avenging angel. With Nat King Cole
and Stubby Kaye as balladeering duo/Greek chorus.
DIR Elliot
Silverstein; SCR Walter Newman, Frank Pierson, from the novel “The Ballad of Cat Ballou” by
Roy Chanslor; PROD Harold Hecht. US, 1965, color, 97 min. NOT RATED
THE CHASE (1966)
Fri, May 2, 9:00; Wed, May 7, 7:05
All hell breaks
loose in the
Texas town
of Tarl after
Charlie
“Bubber”
Reeves
(Robert
Redford) busts
out of prison.
It seems
everyone’s
got a reason
to fear the outlaw, from his old foe Edwin Stewart (Robert
Duvall) to his cheating wife Anna (Jane Fonda) to his best
friend Jake Rogers (James Fox), now Anna’s lover. It falls to
Sheriff Calder (Marlon Brando) to keep heads cool and bring
Bubber to justice. But this town is spoiling for a fight. One
year before the landmark BONNIE AND CLYDE, filmmaker
Arthur Penn transformed Horton Foote’s stage play into a
violent cinematic spectacle. The cast includes E. G. Marshall,
Angie Dickinson, Janice Rule, Martha Hyer and Miriam
Hopkins.
DIR Arthur Penn; SCR Lillian Hellman, from the play by Horton Foote; PROD Sam
Spiegel. US, 1966, color, 135 min. NOT RATED
BAREFOOT IN THE PARK
Sun, May 11, 11:00 a.m.; Tue, May 13, 7:05
Neil Simon made
the leap from stage
to screen with this
screenwriting debut, an
adaption of his own
hit Broadway play.
Reuniting with Robert
Redford a year after
THE CHASE, Jane
Fonda and Redford
play newlyweds
adjusting to married
life in New York City.
An odd couple, Fonda
is the lighthearted
free spirit to Redford’s
buttoned-up lawyer. Struggling to adapt to their tiny fifth-
story walkup in Greenwich Village, the couple soon end
up on the brink of divorce. But one drunken evening and a
barefoot walk in the park might be enough to bring them back
together.
DIR Gene Saks; SCR Neil Simon, from his play; PROD Hal B. Wallis. US, 1967,
color, 106 min. NOT RATED
THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON’T THEY?
Mon, May 19, 9:30; Wed, May 21, 6:45
“Yowza, yowza, yowza!” Money brings out the worst in
people, as a dance marathon in Depression-era Santa
Monica with a promised purse of $1,500 devolves into
a month-long, sadomasochistic debacle. Gig Young won
the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his portrayal of the
obnoxious, manipulative emcee; among the dancing hopefuls
are hard-edged cynic Jane Fonda, drifter Michael Sarrazin,
hayseed Bruce Dern and his pregnant wife Bonnie Bedelia,
sailor Red Buttons and Hollywood hopeful Susannah York.
Stylishly directed by Sydney Pollack, with dynamic, mobile
cameras and distinctive use of dreamy, disorienting flash-
forwards.
DIR Sydney Pollack; SCR James Poe, Robert E. Thompson, from the novel by
Horace McCoy; PROD Irwin Winkler, Robert Chartoff. US, 1969, color, 120 min. RATED PG-13
BARBARELLA
Fri, May 23, 9:20; Sun, May 25, 9:15
Jane Fonda stars as the titular space hero in this swinging
‘60s sci-fi cult classic directed by Fonda’s then-husband Roger
Vadim. In the far-off future of the 410th century, Barbarella
is tasked by the President of Earth to locate rogue scientist
Durand-Durand in the distant Tau Ceti region and destroy
his invention, the deadly Positronic Ray. Packing an array of
stunning space suits, she zooms off in her discotheque-design-
inspired spaceship, finally crash-landing at her destination.
There, Barbarella enlists the aid of a succession of strapping
aliens—the rough-hewn scout Mark Hand (Ugo Tognazzi), the
angelic birdman Pygar (John Phillip Law) and the rebel leader
Dildano (David Hemmings) to help her on a mission, all of
whom she repays for their kindness with space-age free love.
Based on the adult bande dess inée by Jean-Claude Forest,
this is cartoonish, campy fun and solidified Fonda as the sex
symbol of a generation.
DIR/SCR Roger Vadim; SCR Terry Southern, Jean-Claude
Forest, from his comic; PROD Dino De Laurentiis. France/Italy, 1968, color, 98 min. RATED PG
COMING HOME
Sat, May 24, 1:40
Hal Ashby’s sensitive depiction of the plight of Vietnam veterans,
contending with broken bodies, spirits and homes, in a
climate of disillusionment and indifference, earned eight Oscar
nominations, with wins for Jane Fonda, Jon Voight and the
screenplay by Waldo Salt and Robert C. Jones. Also starring
Bruce Dern, Penelope Milford and Robert Carradine.
DIR Hal Ashby;
SCR Waldo Salt, Robert C. Jones; PROD Jerome Hellman. US, 1978, color, 127 min. RATED R
KLUTE
Sat, May 31, 11:00 a.m.; Tue, Jun 3, 9:00
Investigating the
disappearance
of his friend,
Pennsylvania
private eye John
Klute (Donald
Sutherland)
follows a lead
to New York
City and begins
tailing Bree
Daniels (Jane
Fonda, in an
Oscar-winning
performance), an aspiring actress, avowedly independent
woman and sometime call girl. After carefully observing
Bree’s routine amid the danger and decadence of early
‘70s Manhattan, Klute approaches her to ask about the
missing man, Tom Gruneman. Bree doesn’t recall Gruneman
being one of her johns, but confesses to Klute that she’s
been receiving threats from another one. Thrown together
by circumstance, the detective and the call girl become
increasingly dependent on—and attracted to—one another,
even as the unwanted blowback of Bree’s lifestyle puts her in
mortal danger.
DIR/PROD Alan J. Pakula; SCR Andy Lewis, Dave Lewis. US, 1971,

FUN WITH DICK AND JANE

Fri, Jun 6, 9:15; Sat, Jun 7, 11:00 a.m.
After years of living beyond their means, the Harpers hit a
rough patch when Dick (George Segal) loses his high-paying
job. Unable and/or unwilling to cut costs or find suitable
new employment, he and high-living wife Jane (Jane Fonda)
settle upon a new career: armed robbery. Keeping up with
the Joneses has never been this thrilling. Caustic ‘70s social
satire from the underrated Ted Kotcheff (WAKE IN FRIGHT,
THE APPRENTICESHIP OF DUDDY KRAVITZ, NORTH DALLAS
FORTY, FIRST BLOOD).
DIR Ted Kotcheff; SCR David Giler, Jerry Belson, Mordecai
Richler; PROD Peter Bart, Max Palevsky. US, 1977, color, 95 min. RATED PG
AGNES OF GOD
Sat, Jun 14, 11:00 a.m.
After a secret pregnancy, young convent nun Sister Agnes
(Meg Tilly) gives birth, with the strangled newborn found in
her private quarters shortly afterwards. With the naïve and
possibly unstable nun claiming to have no recollection of the
pertinent events, and suggesting that the hand of God may be
at work, the court appoints psychiatrist Dr. Martha Livingston
(Jane Fonda) to investigate. Livingston must coax information
not only from Agnes but formidable Mother Superior Miriam
Ruth (Anne Bancroft). Oscar nominations for Bancroft, Tilly and
for Georges Delerue’s score. The wintry Canadian landscapes
were filmed by Ingmar Bergman regular Sven Nykvist.

Undervalued and underpaid secretaries Jane Fonda, Lily
Tomlin and Dolly Parton take on their "sexist, egotistical, lying,
hypocritical bigot" boss Dabney Coleman in this hilarious
workplace farce. Fed up with their boss’s provocations and
abuse, the secretaries revolt, taking the male chauvinist pig
hostage and forcing him to agree to flex time, day care,
equal pay and more.

JULIA
Sun, Jun 15, 11:00 a.m.
Lillian Hellman (Jane Fonda) becomes embroiled in anti-fascist
intrigue on a trip through Europe in the mid-1930s in this
suspenseful drama directed by Fred Zinnemann, nominated
for 11 Oscars. A struggling playwright, Lillian finally breaks
through with “The Children’s Hour” in 1934, thanks to the
guidance and support of her lover, the hard-boiled novelist
Dashiell Hammett (Jason Robards). En route to a writer’s
conference in the Soviet Union, Lillian encounters her
childhood friend Julia (Vanessa Redgrave), who enlists her in
a plot to smuggle money to the anti-Nazi underground. Oscar
wins for Redgrave, Robards and Alvin Sargent’s screenplay;
also the big-screen debut of Meryl Streep (now an 18-time
Oscar nominee and 3-time winner).

TOUT VA BIEN aka ALL’S WELL
Tue, Jun 24, 9:15; Wed, Jun 25, 9:15
Jean-Luc Godard made a return, of sorts, to narrative
filmmaking with this 1972 political farce, after four years of
co-authoring experimental documentaries with Jean-Pierre Gorin
(his co-director here) as the Dziga Vertov Group. Jane Fonda is
an American radio journalist living in France with her burnt-out
filmmaker husband Yves Montand, once a leading figure in the
nouvelle vague, now slumming it as a TV commercial director.
On assignment investigating conditions at a sausage factory,
the couple gets caught in the crossfire of a wildcat strike, with
the strikers lashing out against both the management and their
union representation. As tensions rise, the couple’s own union,
already fraying, begins to further unravel.
DIR/SCR Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-
Pierre Gorin; PROD Jean-Pierre Rassam. France/Italy, 1972, color, 95 min. NOT RATED
Jane Fonda will be
presented with the 42nd
AFI Life Achievement
Award at a gala tribute
on Thursday, June 5,
in Los Angeles, to be
broadcast on TNT later
that month, with encore
airings to follow on
sister network Turner
Classics Movies (TCM).
“Jane Fonda is American film royalty," said Sir
Howard Stringer, Chair of the American Film
Institute’s Board of Trustees. “A bright light first
introduced to the world as the daughter of Henry
Fonda, the world watched as she found her own
voice and forged her own path as an actor and a
cultural icon. Today she stands tall among the giants
of American film, and it is AFI's honor to present Jane
Fonda with its 42nd Life Achievement Award.”
