ESCAPE TO NEW YORK

Del.icio.us
Commemorating the second anniversary of Sept. 11, BAM Rose Cinemas is hosting a decidedly more upbeat alternative to candlelight vigils. Offering good, old-fashioned escapism, BAM will screen Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly’s love letter to the Big Apple, "On the Town," several times, offering free admission to all.

Based on the 1944 Broadway musical, the film follows the antics of three sailors (Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin) on a one-day pass in New York City. Much of the 1949 film was shot on location. And if that fact and the film’s star power aren’t enough enticement, it’s filled with the infectious, Oscar-winning songs - like the infectious "New York, New York" - by Brooklyn native Betty Comden and Adolph Green.

Screenings will be at 4:30 pm, 6:50 pm and 9:10 pm at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, 30 Lafayette Ave. at Ashland Place in Fort Greene. For more information, call (718) 636-4100 or visit the Web site at www.bam.org.
