Monday, October 27, 6:30 pm in the Grace Gamm Theater

Directed by James Freedman

USA/English/2025/93 min

Much more than a showbiz bio of a beloved actor, a hilarious comedian, and a talented talk show host. This heartfelt tribute also pays homage to a remarkable humanitarian who devoted his later years to freeing those wrongly convicted. Known for his dry wit and deadpan delivery, Grodin captivated audiences in films such as “The Heartbreak Kid,” “Beethoven,” “Catch 22,” and “Midnight Run.” He made frequent appearances on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson and Late Night with David Letterman, and hosted his talk show on CNBC. Through a treasure trove of film and TV clips, insightful interviews, and personal reflections, this engrossing documentary pays tribute to a singular talent who left an indelible mark on both entertainment and humanity.
