Cinema Supper Club: A Cultural Kaleidoscope continues at the Legion of Honor with a screening of Carmen Jones (1954; 105 minutes) on April 10. On Thursday evenings at the Legion through May 8, enjoy after-hours access to Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990–2005, bistro favorites and drinks in the Legion Café, and a film in the historic Florence Gould Theater. “A Cultural Kaleidoscope” presents movies that reflect a spectrum of cultural events including theater, music, and dance. Carmen Jones, the modern adaptation of the Bizet opera Carmen, features new lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The film tells the story of Joe (Harry Belafonte), an army soldier who falls in love with Carmen (Dorothy Dandridge), a beautiful and seductive factory worker.

The special exhibition and Museum Store are open until 9 pm.
