Cinematic Lives: Meet Me in St. Louis

Join The Nick and the Columbia Museum of Art for a two-part series exploring themes in the CMA exhibition Interior Lives: Modern American Spaces, 1890–1945. See two films from the 1940s, Citizen Kane and Meet Me in St. Louis, followed by talkbacks featuring CMA Senior Curator Michael Neumeister, who created the exhibition, and Laura Major, collections manager at USC’s Moving Image Research Collections.
 
On April 15, gather at The Nick for a screening of the Judy Garland classic Meet Me in St. Louis (1944, Vincent Minelli), a film that follows the everyday lives of the Smiths, an upper middle-class family living in St. Louis at the turn of the 20th century. Much of the story takes place in the interior spaces of the Smiths' Victorian home, where the four Smith sisters navigate love, life, and family in an ever-changing America. The film also displays many of the technological advances leading up to the 1904 World’s Fair. Run time: 1h 53m.
