The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Easy Living starting at 8 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "no relation to the Lombard-Leisen-Sturges comedy, Tourneur's Easy Living is instead a sensitive domestic melodrama revolving around the low-key troubles of ailing, adulterous football player Victor Mature. A strange fusion of sports movie, sociological study, and impossible romance, it is a testament to empathy and flexibility of Tourneur, who himself never attended a single football game."
