The legendary Robert Mitchum is the subject of “Nice Girls Don't Stay for Breakfast." (HIFF)

New York City - The Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF) as part of a partnership with The Museum of Modern Art and their Film Plus program, a new membership program which offers access to exclusive advance screenings of films, continue their Spring conversation series showcasing Bruce Weber's "Nice Girls Don't Stay for Breakfast." Weber has selected special scenes and highlights from his film to discuss with host and HIFF Board Member Alec Baldwin at The Museum of Modern Art on June 21 at 6:30 p.m.

"Nice Girls Don't Stay for Breakfast" offers a candid and revealing look at the legendary movie actor, Robert Mitchum, including never before seen studio recordings of Mitchum singing.

"We are honored to welcome Bruce Weber into our family of filmmakers," says The Hamptons International Film Festival Executive Director, Karen Arikian. "Bruce is an Academy Award nominated director who has been a part of the Hamptons Film Festival in the past and we felt this was a great continuation of our relationship." continues Arikian. "It's a thrill to bring two of the East End's most generous talents to Film Plus members at MoMA", says Rajendra Roy, The Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film. "I can't think of two artists I'd rather spend a summer evening with."

HIFF greatly appreciates the continued support from their corporate sponsors which include Altour International, American Airlines, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, RoC and Silvercup Studios.
