From 19 to 31 May 2011, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image presents Magnificent Obsessions: Hollywood Dames from Screwball to Sirk. From madcap 1930s and '40s screwball comediennes chasing romance to the fated, impassioned lovers of Douglas Sirk's provocative 1950s melodramas, the season celebrates the luminous screen sirens that embodied Hollywood's grand narratives of love.
