CADILLAC RECORDS chronicles the rise of Chess Records and its
recording artists. In this tale of sex, violence, race and rock and roll in
Chicago of the 1950s and 60s, the film follows the exciting but turbulent lives
of some of America’s greatest musical legends. The story of how the blues became
popular and gave birth to rock and roll begins at a dingy bar on the rough South
Side of Chicago in 1947, where an ambitious young Polish émigré, bar owner
Leonard Chess (Academy Award-winner ADRIEN BRODY), hires a talented but
undisciplined blues combo that includes quiet and thoughtful guitar prodigy
Muddy Waters (JEFFREY WRIGHT) and impulsive and colorful harmonica player Little
Walter (COLUMBUS SHORT). Fascinated by the sound of the music – and eager to
cash in on the record burgeoning record business – Chess arranges a recording
session for Waters. Waters’ early recordings start moving up the R+B charts
and receiving heavy play.

FILMS IN LIMITED RELEASE
For three years after being forced from office, Nixon
remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former
commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the
questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his
presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised
confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a
place in the hearts and minds of Americans.
Likewise, Frost’s team harbored doubts about their boss’ ability to hold his
own. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted. Would Nixon evade
questions of his role in one of the nation’s greatest disgraces? Or would
Frost confound critics and bravely demand accountability from the man who’d
built a career out of stonewalling? Over the course of their encounter, each man
would reveal his own insecurities, ego and reserves of dignity—ultimately
setting aside posturing in a stunning display of unvarnished truth.
