Film screening of the biographical drama Jimmy, exploring the life of American actor James Stewart.
Riverview Theater is screening Jimmy on Thursday, November 5, a look into the life of American actor James Stewart. If you've spent any time with his films, you know the voice and the presence, but this one goes behind the screen.
Jimmy focuses on Stewart's life away from the roles he's known for. The film describes his story in terms of valor, purpose, and faith—three things that don't always get as much screen time as the characters he played. It's a look at the man himself rather than a career retrospective, and the filmmakers expect it to be the kind of story that wins over anyone who walks in, whether you're a lifelong fan of his work or just curious about the person behind the name.
For those who know Stewart mostly as the face of mid-century American cinema, it's a chance to see the parts of his life that didn't make it into the scripts. The focus on valor, purpose, and faith suggests a look at his personal convictions and the things that drove him outside of the studio system, rather than just a collection of clips from his biggest hits.
