Chicago Outdoor Film Fest - "All About Eve" - Coming to the City's Big Screen…

The lakefront beckons with the return and allure of the Chicago Outdoor Film Festival in Grant Park, Tuesday evenings, July 15 - August 26, 2008. This years feature films were chosen, in part, because they exemplify the definition of classic movies so join us for opening night with Richard Roeper and "All About Eve," starring Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. This event is presented by the Mayor's Office of Special Events and ComEd.

The festival also pays homage to Deborah Kerr, and Charlton Heston as well as the Chicago Blues Festival which celebrates its 25th year by showing the quintessential Chicago movie -"The Blues Brothers". The Chicago Outdoor Film Festival salutes Bette Davis on the centennial of her birthday. In addition, film goers will appreciate the director's cut of "Touch of Evil."

"Welles never realized his vision for the film. Now, thanks to a long lost 58 page memo, the Chicago Outdoor Film Festival can proudly present A Touch of Evil as Orson Welles intended it to be viewed," said Kathy Byrne, Chicago Outdoor Film Festival programmer.

All films are shown on consecutive Tuesdays at sunset. There are no rain dates. No pets or alcohol. Parking is available at the Millennium Park Facility, East Monroe, Grant Park North and Grant Park South garages.
