The Center for Unlimited Enrichment (CUE) at Queens College is an innovative, low-cost educational program for older adult learners which contributes immeasurably to the quality of their lives. It is intellectually challenging and provides opportunities to enhance their physical and mental health, develop social networks, play leadership roles in shaping their own program, and remain actively engaged in living life to the fullest. CUE is unique in that it is designed by, adapted for and accessible to the older adult learner. There are no tests, no grades, no credits, no pressures -- just learning for the pure joy of it.
The CUE program began in March, 1981, with 75 students, enrolled in four six-week courses. Classes met only on Fridays. Currently, more than 500 students participate in a greatly expanded program of educational, cultural and social activities. Classes now meet on Mondays through Saturdays, between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Many students enroll in multiple courses. The faculty consists of current and retired faculty and other professionals, who enjoy sharing their extensive knowledge and expertise with older adults who are eager to learn and grow.
Summer 2002 Film Festival Fee

The CUE Summer Film Festival is programmed and directed by Scott
Siegel, author of "The Encyclopedia of Hollywood." The theme this
year is "Hollywood and the Star System."
| June 25, 2002: THE KING AND I (1956). 133 minutes. Directed by Walter Lang. Starring Yul Brynner, Deborah Kerr, Rita Moreno, Martin Benson. The Best Picture Oscar nominee that made a star of Yul Brynner (who won the Best Actor Academy Award). This thrilling film adaptation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is a classic, etc., etc., etc. |
| July 2, 2002: ANNIE (1982). 126 minutes. Directed by John Huston. Starring Albert Finny, Carol Burnett. Sometimes the star is the director. This was John Huston's first attempt, very late in his career, to make a musical. The adaptation of the beloved stage musical also starred a couple of pretty substantial stars, as well. It didn't do well with either critics or audiences when it came out. See what you think now. |
| July 9, 2002: BLONDE VENUS (1932). 97 minutes. Directed by Josef von Sternberg. Starring Marlene Dietrich, Herbert Marshall, Cary Grant, Dickie Moore. Talk about stars. Dietrich was a creation of von Sternberg. This is the ultimate star vehicle. Catch Dietrich singing in a gorilla costume. The plot is pure hokum, but it's fun. |
| July 16, 2002: HAIRSPRAY (1988). 90 minutes. Directed by John Waters. Starring Ricki Lake, Divine, Sonny Bono, Debbie Harry, Pia Zadora. This was the movie that turned renegade writer/director John Waters into a mainstream filmmaker. It's a goofy movie but its success eventually propelled Ricki Lake into a TV talk show host. And this movie is the basis of a new musical opening this Summer on Broadway. |
| July 23, 2002: A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN (1945). 128 minutes. Directed by Eliz Kazan. Starring Peggy Ann Garner, James Dunn, Dorothy McGuire, Joan Blondell, Lloyd Nolan. Elia Kazan's first movie, it was based on the bestselling book of the same name. In this case, the story was the star. |
| July 30, 2002: REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM (1938). 80 minutes. Directed by Allan Dwan. Starring Shirley Temple, Randolph Scott, Jack Haley, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Shirley Temple saved Twentieth Century Fox from bankruptcy. Temple was the real-life precursor of Annie. |
