As part of the Barrymore Film Center’s ongoing tribute to Rob Reiner, we are pleased to celebrate President’s Day with a screening of The American President. Imagine a wonderful romantic comedy by the director of When Harry Met Sally combined with a sharp political drama written by Aaron Sorkin, the creator of The West Wing, and you’ll get an idea of what a cinematic treat you’re in for. We’re delighted to have the film introduced by our favorite historian, William Pat Schuber.
