A century ago, the editor Harold Ross and his wife, the reporter Jane Grant, started up an astute and humorous magazine called The New Yorker. As most of the reading world is aware, the publication is synonymous with high-minded urbanity and has published some of the greatest fiction and nonfiction writers of the last 100 years. The New Yorker also has a long association with the movies, not only due to the film criticism of Pauline Kael and Anthony Lane but because many stories printed in the magazine were adapted for the screen. For two weeks, Film Forum is showing a variety of those films, which include John Cheever’s The Swimmer, directed by Frank Perry; Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, directed by Richard Brooks; and Joseph Mitchell’s Joe Gould’s Secret, directed by Stanley Tucci. Introductions will be made by David Remnick, Naomi Fry, Adam Gopnik, Calvin Trillin, and others associated with the publication. —Jack Sullivan
