AFI Beast and Star Wars LP Info

News flash by Lukas Kendall

From the Washington Post (thanks to Jeff Eldridge for the info), happening tomorrow:

Peter Lorre, in a campy, googly-eyed performance, wrestles with the severed hand of a dead pianist in "The Beast with Five Fingers," a 1946 horror classic directed by Robert Florey. National Symphony Orchestra conductor Leonard Slatkin, whose uncle played the Beast and whose mother was part of the studio orchestra, will introduce the film and talk about its score.

At the American Film Institute, the Kennedy Center. Thursday at 6 p.m. $6.50. 202-416-7815.

Additionally, someone provided cover art scans of the Star Wars Phantom Menace LP recently released worldwide.
