A Conversation With Gregory Peck

Malden Bridge Community Center, formerly Wesley United Methodist Church (located at intersection of Shaker Museum Road/Old Albany Turnpike and Route 66), invites the public to join in A Conversation With Gregory Peck on Saturday, June 26, at 8 pm.
Legendary actor Gregory Peck, renowned for his integrity on and off the screen over a stellar six-decade career, is the subject of this intimate portrait.  Unforgettable in classic films like Roman Holiday, Gentleman’s Agreement and The Guns Of Navarone, Peck is perhaps most beloved for his Oscar winning portrayal of Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mocking Bird.  In his eighties and still strikingly handsome, he performs a one-man retrospective stage show marked by keen wit and lively storytelling. The film follows Peck from the stage into his home and across the globe, weaving film clips, still photographs and home movie footage into a profile of an American icon as he has never before been seen.   The film, an official selection of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, is directed by Barbara Kopple, co-produced by Peck’s daughter Cecilia Peck and edited by Bob Eisenhardt. (1999, 97 min., Color and B&W)
