The latter film tells of one of Hollywood's most popular stars and draws on his memories to tell the amusing story of how it was when the studios ruled supreme, and how a shy and inarticulate boy from a broken family could rise to super stardom to become one of the most respected of movie leading men. 6:15-8:15 p.m. "American Violet." 8:30-10:30 p.m. "Gregory Peck: His Own Man."
