Did you know John Herbert Gleason (aka Jackie  Gleason) was the first choice for the role of detective Popeye Doyle in The French Connection?  Or that he already was a high-level pool player when he made The Hustler with Paul Newman? Come to the Cinema Arts Centre where filmmaker & film historian Glenn Andreiev presents a Sky Room Talk on the films and television work of the great Gleason.  Along with the best of The Honeymooners, there will be many film clips of Gleason's long career, including early films featuring a trimmer Ralph Kramden. Gleason did it all!
