A Steve McQueen Retrospective
The Film Society of Lincoln Center Blog
On Wednesday, May 20th when the event opened in New York City, Catherine Garcia, host of WSUM's Movie Music and Trivia Show (91.7 FM Madison, WI; The Snake on the Lake), paid tribute with a special show featuring music from many of Steve McQueen's movies. Her guest was Cris Garcia ('Doctor G'), webmaster of an extensive site that pays tribute to the film The Sand Pebbles (considered by many to be McQueen's best role) and a fan of many McQueen movies.
