You gotta hand it to those Coppolas ย theyยre a hardworking bunch. This time itยs Carmine (Francis Ford Coppolaยs dad) whoยs in on the action. His music has been added to the recently restored silent film Napoleon, Part 1. Abel Ganceยs 1927 classic, considered one of the most thrilling silent films ever made, shows the French dictatorยs grab for power. No doubt Coppolaยs music will add to the drama. Napoleon, Part II screens March 27. 7 p.m. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1001 Bissonnet. For information, call 713-639-7515 or visit www.mfah.org/films. $6 to $7.
