 | | As part of the tributes taking place around the world this year to mark the hundredth anniversary of Noël Coward's birth, The Museum of Modern Art presents a comprehensive retrospective of films adapted from Cowards plays, films Coward wrote, produced, directed, and scored, and films in which he appeared as an actor. |
 | | "The young Noël Coward once wrote his mother: 'I'm not very keen on Hollywood, I'd rather have a nice cup of cocoa,' and he entered the movies expecting to get out quickly and profitably," notes Joshua Siegel, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the exhibition. |
 | | This is the third tribute to an actor on which MoMA has collaborated with The Billy Rose Foundation, a major supporter of the arts in New York City. |
