Love films to play at State Theatre

Collegian Staff Writer

To coincide with the Valentine's Day holiday, the State Theatre will be showing a series of popular, Oscar-winning romantic films. Breakfast at Tiffany's will start off the series today.

Starring Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's is based on the Truman Capote novel of the same name and won two Academy awards in 1962. It tells the story of a struggling writer who meets a jet-setting New York City socialite. The two become fascinated with their differing lifestyles and fall in love.

Tomorrow, the theatre will present Woody Allen's signature work, Annie Hall. The film won four of the five Oscar nominations it received in 1978, including Allen's first win as a director and one for Diane Keaton's portrayal of the title role.

On Thursday, Woman of the Year, starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, will play. Winning best original screenplay in 1943, the film presents a role reversal of sorts as Hepburn plays a successful international journalist has a more active career than her sports writer husband (Tracy). He begins to feel even more neglected when she wins a "woman of the year" award.

Tickets can be bought at the State Theatre box office, by phone at 272-0606 or at www.thestatetheatre.org.
