Beginning Thursday April 6, Metrograph will present the second part of "Universal in the '70s," a celebration of anything-goes studio filmmaking. Starting with executive Ned Tanen’s storied “youth division”, no studio so completely embraced New Hollywood’s spirit of upheaval and high-wire experiment as did Universal. In this visionary decade, Universal fostered young upstarts like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, imported Miloš Forman for his U.S. debut, and gave a free hand to old pros like Hitchcock and Don Siegel (and his understudy Clint Eastwood). In these more tepid times, Universal’s track record provides a shining, necessary example of what a studio with conviction can do. Continuing where it left off in January, "Universal in the '70s: Part 2" includes films by Jerry Schatzberg, Paul Newman, Frank Perry, Clint Eastwood, Paul Schrader, John Landis, Philip Kaufman, and more!
