Plimpton! Documentary Opens this Week in NYC

A new documentary Plimpton! about late Sagaponack author, journalist and literary lion George Plimpton opened at Lincoln Center’s Elinor Bunin Monroe Theaters in Manhattan on Wednesday, May 22. The film will run for at least a week and a half.

As described on the film’s website, plimptonmovie.com:

George Plimpton hung out with U.S. Presidents, played quarterback for the Detroit Lions, forced Willie Mays to pop out in Yankee Stadium, photographed Playboy models, was named the “Most Eligible Bachelor in Manhattan” by Esquire magazine, played goalie for the Boston Bruins, struck the triangle for the New York Philharmonic and acted alongside John Wayne, Warren Beatty and Matt Damon. Some of these things he did well. Some he didn’t. But they were always amusing and inspiring. Plimpton!, starring George Plimpton as himself is a film that joyfully celebrates a life lived fully, richly and strangely. In fact, for many, it’s difficult to imagine this life was lived by just one man.
