Classic American Film, Thursday, Period 4
"Good afternoon," Ziva said as she greeted the class. "I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving break last week." She certainly had, even if she still didn't fully understand the holiday. "Today we are going to see an example of a rare kind of classic film: the kind that was not a box office success. Most films that are considered classics were very successful in theaters - after all, if they are classics, they must be good films, and therefore people must have wanted to see them when they were originally released. But sometimes, movies only gain a larger, happier audience once they are out of the theaters, and available to watch in one's home.
"Today's film barely made enough money in theaters to cover its budget, but now, many years later, it is considered to be one of the best films ever made. Hopefully, you will all find it as enjoyable as others have."
