Join us for a special screening of the Academy Award-winning film The Lost Weekend, featuring an introduction and Q&A with author Eric Monder, whose new biography Dashing to the End: The Ray Milland Story offers fresh insight into the legendary actor’s life and legacy.

Directed by Billy Wilder and starring Ray Milland in a career-defining, Oscar-winning performance, The Lost Weekend remains one of Hollywood’s most powerful portrayals of addiction, ambition, and personal despair. First released in 1945, this groundbreaking psychological drama shattered taboos and set new standards for realism in American cinema.
