Robert Ryan Event

We are grateful to J.R. Jones, author of The Lives of Robert Ryan, for asking Park Ridge Classic Film to be involved in his Robert Ryan Event on May 31, 2015, at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago. Matthew C. Hoffman moderated a Q&A between author J.R. Jones and Lisa Ryan, daughter of actor Robert Ryan. The discussion followed a noon screening of the film noir classic The Set-Up. Just under 200 people attended this screening/book-signing.
