UCLA Film & Television Archive Festival of Preservation

Three excellent films from three different decades are on the schedule this weekend for the UCLA Film & Television Archive's Festival of Preservation, making its first-ever stop in Houston. John Cassavetes's 1974 film A Woman Under the Influence is set for Friday. Gena Rowlands is the mother at the center of a working-class family in trouble. Peter Falk is her husband in what's been called Cassavetes's tour de force.
