Film Screening/Tribute to Charles Grodin (1935-2021):
"Midnight Run"
(Martin Brest, 1988, 122 min, USA, English, Color, DCP)
In this madcap cross-country chase comedy, bounty hunter Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) must escort a bail-jumping accountant and embezzler named "The Duke" (Charles Grodin) from NY to LA, while evading the FBI, the mob, and a rival bounty hunter who are all anxious to get their hands on him. The interplay between De Niro and Grodin is priceless in this odd couple movie par excellence.
