A
s party reviews go,
we're sure Siskel
and Ebert would
have given The
Art of Film two
thumbs up. For being an event
only in its second year — the
Dallas Film Society debuted
the annual fund-raiser last fall
— the gala has garnered quite
the blockbuster reputation.
Four hundred film aficionados
walked the red carpet into the
Hall of State at Fair Park to
meet Academy Award nominee,
Golden Globe winner and Art
of Film honoree John Lithgow.
After watching a lively
conversation between Lithgow
and renowned film critic Elvis
Mitchell, the group moved
into the Great Hall for a seated
dinner of grand proportions.
