, celebrated its 50th anniversary in style Thursday night at the place where it all started, the fabled Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. One of the first “colleges” for filmmakers , it opened at Greystone in 1969 and stayed there until 1981 ,when it moved to Griffith Park, where it still stands at the former Immaculate Heart campus.
Stevens, by the way, was also in town this week for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences annual George Stevens Lecture, which took place Monday night, but this year was dedicated to another anniversary, the 60th for his father’s seminal 1959 Oscar winner,which was unveiled at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in a stunning 4K restoration. The film, the first time a major Hollywood studio tackled a Holocaust theme, is every bit as important and powerful as the day it premiered.
