Tony-Winner Feat. in 'The Life of Reilly' Film Debuts Nov.16

L'Orange Films presents, in association with Civilian Pictures, The Life of Reilly; directed by Barry Poltermann and Frank Anderson, written by Paul Linke and Charles Nelson Reilly, opening at the Cinema Village on November 16 (22 East 12th Street between University Place & 5th Avenue)

"If, in 1940, you had a lobotomized aunt, an institutionalized father, a racist mother, and were the only gay kid on the block, what do you think the odds would be that you'd end up a Tony winner, a staple of television, and a generational icon?" asks press notes, "Enter The Life Of Reilly. The cliché goes that truth is stranger than fiction. In this case, it is also funnier and more heartbreaking. Charles Nelson Reilly, famous for his game show innuendos and 'X Files' guest appearances, takes us through his bizarre, star-studded, tragic, hilarious, and ultimately amazing life with a potent blend of tenderness and quick one-liners."

The Life of Reilly is an adaptation of his acclaimed one-man show and was photographed for the screen during the final three performances of his play in North Hollywood, California.

The movie runs 87-minutes, not rated.
