Dear Colleague,

You and a guest are cordially invited to attend a preview screening of Castle Hill Productions' feature documentary, Five Wives, Three Secretaries and Me, directed by Tessa Blake and produced by Jason Lyon.

Five Wives, which marks Ms. Blake's directorial debut, charts the eccentricities of her remarkable eighty-something father, a lawyer turned millionaire oil magnate, and the extravagance of the Texas high society in which he lives.

Ms. Blake blends the comic and the poignant in setting her portrait of a hotshot attorney, Hollywood playboy, serial monogamist and loving, but remote father against the backdrop of the outrageous excesses of the Lone Star state. What results is an incisive examination of universal family conflicts played out in the over-the-top microcosm of the Houston jetset. Interspersing interviews with several of his wives – most of whom he continues to see – with the wry commentary of his secretaries – one of whom has been with him longer than all the wives put together, Ms. Blake creates an incisive examination of universal family conflicts played out in the over-the-top microcosm of the Houston jet set.

Five Wives, Three Secretaries and Me will be released by Castle Hill Productions on September 17, 1999, at the Quad Cinemas in new York. Tessa Blake and Jason Lyon will be available for interviews.


Running time: 80 minutes

A screening will be held at the Sony Screening Room, 711 5th Avenue (between 55th & 56th Streets), 11th Floor on:
Tuesday, May 18th @ 6:00PM
