George Stevens Centennial Tribute
The Academy of Motion Picture Sciences and the Foundation for the National
Archives hosted a George Stevens Centennial Tribute in late October at the
recently opened William McGowan Theater at the National Archives.
Guests and fans of the late award-winning director gathered for a reception
in the Archive’s Rotunda prior to the screening of “The More the
Merrier,” a
celebrated film about the World War II housing crunch in D.C.
The tribute was the first in a series resulting from a collaboration between
the Academy, the Foundation for the National Archives and the Archives’
Charles Guggenheim Center for the Documentary Film, which plans to bring
Academy-sponsored public programming to the McGowan Theater three
times each year.
