Monday night is movie night at the Barclay Condominium in Palm Beach. This tradition was started by three residents, Ruth Epstein, Ellie Hart, and Lee Bergen. The first movie shows was Salam Bombay, which won an academy award and for which Mitch Epstein, Ruth’s son, was co-director and co-producer. Oscar night parties began three years ago with pictures taken on the red carpet with a life-size Oscar, food, movies, questionnaires, and Oscars and roses as prizes.

For the Oscar party on March 7th, three Oscars were awarded. Sy Reinhart, the official Cinema Barclay photographer, was awarded an Oscar for excellence in photography. Two Oscars were awarded for best answers to quizzes on cinema.

Everyone dressed in their finest and dined in the Barclay party room, which was decorated with movie posters. During dinner, the movie goers were entertained by Al Kent who interviewed the residents and their guests. It was pure Hollywood!
