Rated NR; 111min; Director:Michael Curtiz  

Location: Alamo South Lamar

With an all-star pie flight featuring pies specially baked by the chefs of Chez Zee, Z'Tejas, Lambert's, Woodland, and dozens of other restaurants and piemakers, who have generously donated their time and expertise for this screening. All the pie, coffee and Amy's Ice Cream you can eat is included in the $30 ticket price.

Joan Crawford is at her maternal best as a woman who works and slaves over a hot stove, literally - she bakes pies, to provide only the best for her kids only to have her ungrateful daughter (Ann Blythe) take everything she has - and we mean everything. It's one of the all-time classic Joan Crawford performances and this will be an Alamo event to remember. Plus it will help your friend and ours, Austin Chronicle columnist and bon vivant Stephen Michael Moser, who is facing some heavy doctor bills due to a sudden illness. Join us for the screening everybody will be talking about for a long time. And remember, don't eat a heavy lunch beforehand.
