Mr. & Mrs. Bridge (James Ivory, 1990, 35mm, 126 mins)

Paul Newman and an Oscar-nominated Joanne Woodward give “the most adventurous, most stringent performances of their careers” (Vincent Canby) as a well-off couple in ‘30s and ‘40s Kansas City grappling with a changing world. Adapted from the novels of Evan S. Connell, with a supporting cast that includes Blythe Danner, Kyra Sedgwick, Simon Callow, and Robert Sean Leonard. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.

“The World of James Ivory” presents highlights from across the seven-decade career of the acclaimed filmmaker, drawn from his personal collection of film prints donated to the archive in 2023.
