See a movie with Griffin Dunne







When I first think of Griffin Dunne I am reminded of his roles in "Who's That Girl?" with Madonna and "My Girl". And who can forget "An American Werewolf in London"?

But Dunne, a part-time Dutchess County resident, is also a respected director. His film, "Fierce People," which starred Diane Lane and Donald Sutherland, played at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck during the Woodstock Film Festival in October.

Dunne returns to Upstate this Sunday, when he will present "The Earrings of Madame de ..." as part of the "Watch a Movie With ..." series to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the independent moviehouse.

The film explores the conventions of love, marriage and flirtation of upper-class turn-of-the-20th-century Paris.

The screening with Dunne takes place Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10.
