The Palm Springs Modern Committee presents an exclusive work-in-progress screening of A Swinging World: The Life and Career of Buddy Greco, an upcoming documentary created by PS ModCom’s very own president and founding board member, Courtney Newman.

The film celebrates the extraordinary eight-decade career of singer, pianist and entertainer Buddy Greco. From South Philadelphia to Benny Goodman, Las Vegas, television and the international nightclub stage, Greco’s remarkable career intersected with many of the personalities, places and cultural touchstones that helped define the midcentury era.

Greco’s world of sophisticated supper clubs, glamorous hotels, Las Vegas lounges, television variety shows and stylish nightclub entertainment was part of the same midcentury culture and lifestyle that Modernism Week celebrates today. The film expands that story beyond architecture, bringing to life the music, glamour, personalities and entertainment that helped define the Modern American experience.

This special presentation will offer a limited number of guests a rare advance opportunity to see the film while it remains in post-production.
