1967, Arthur Penn, USA, 112 minutes

Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway

Eviscerated by Bosley Crowther in the New York Times as "a cheap piece of bald-faced slapstick comedy that treats the hideous depredations of that sleazy, moronic pair as though they were as full of fun and frolic as the jazz-age cutups in Thoroughly Modern Millie," Warren Beatty's first film as a producer has since been rated by the American Film Institute as one of the best gangster films of all time.

Introduced by Melissa Febos

After moving to New York in 1999, Melissa Febos graduated from The New School University, spent four years working as a professional dominatrix, and received an MFA in writing from Sarah Lawrence College. She has now lived in Brooklyn for over a decade. She curates and hosts the popular monthly music and reading series, Mixer, on the Lower East Side, and teaches writing and literature at SUNY Purchase College and the Gotham Writers' Workshop, in addition to offering private editing and instruction. In between, she walks the dog, trains for the marathon, and somehow, manages to write essays, stories, journalism, and the occasional poem. Her memoir, Whip Smart was published by St. Martin's Press/Thomas Dunne Books this past spring.
