Michael Bergmann's Milk and Money
The New York Times calls it a "daffy enjoyable little film from 1996", a nonsensical story that centers on a medical-school dropout named David (Robert Petkoff), who seems to have a knack for standing on New York City sidewalks and having odd things involving gorgeous women happen to him. Member Michael Bergmann wrote and directed this treat which also features Calista Flockhart, Robert Vaughn, Olympia Dukakis, and Peter Boyle.
And Michael has arranged a special deal for Library members - if you mention The New York Society Library on Wednesday (10/27) or Thursday (10/28), you'll get $3 off the ticket price!
Big Cinemas Manhattan, 239 E. 59th Street
Today through Thursday, Oct 28, 8pm
