SQUIRRELS TO THE NUTS d. Peter Bogdanovich, 2014 raising funds for Parkinson’s UK at The Prince Charles (06 MAR 20:30).

“You saved one of my best pictures… Can’t thank you enough, James, you’re a real trooper!” – Peter Bogdanovich, director of The Last Picture Show, What’s Up, Doc? and Paper Moon, in an email to City University of New York Professor James Kenney after Kenney shared his discovery of the only existing copy of Bogdanovich’s Squirrels to the Nuts, his vastly different original cut of She’s Funny That Way.”

“Heavily cut, substantially reshot, and burdened with a painfully explicit voice-over narration, Peter Bogdanovich’s final theatrical feature was released in 2014 under the title She’s Funny That Way and quickly disappeared from view. Miraculously, Bogdanovich’s full original cut, running 113 minutes and titled Squirrels to the Nuts in homage to Ernst Lubitsch’s Cluny Brown, was saved from oblivion by Kenney, who discovered a high-definition video master of the Bogdanovich edit on eBay.”

“Squirrels to the Nuts in its original cut is unexpurgated Bogdanovich, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker creating a rich, absurdist universe of uncommon, unforgettable characters who constantly surprise us, in a cockeyed, original romantic comedy of adultery, destiny and sexual compulsion spun by him and co-writer/producer Louise Stratten. On Monday 6th March at a screening benefitting Parkinson’s UK, you will have the opportunity to see, in its first European screening, this “small miracle,” which plays as a proper climax to Bogdanovich’s storied career.” (The PCC)
