Last summer, Robert De Niro donated his extensive film memorabilia collection to the Harry Ransom Center. The donated materials included annotated scripts, notes, correspondence, photographs, research materials, costume items and props from various De Niro films (though sadly, it didn't include the sandwich he was eating while yelling at Stallone in Copland).

A good chunk portion of the collection will go on display March 19th, but to gear us up for the exhibition the Ransom Center will be screening four early De Niro films over the coming weeks, starting tonight with Brian De Palma's 1968 comedy Greetings and ending on March 27th with the Martin Scorsese classic Mean Streets.

The screenings are free and open to the public, and each film will be introduced by Ransom Center Associate Curator of Film Steve Wilson, who will also discuss selected items from the De Niro collection.
