Meet yesterday's answer to today's world.

Take a sharp dressing, fast talking 1920s newspaperman, plant him in gritty, modern day Manhattan and what do you get? An "audacious, hilarious comedy!" (Mike Kerrigan, Boxoffice

The sidewalks of New York will never be the same, thanks to sharp-dressing, fast-talking newspaperman Johnny Twennies (Gibson Frazier), an ace reporter stuck in the 1920's who's blissfully unaware that he sticks out like a sore thumb in modern Manhattan. His girlfriend is fed up because he hasn't even kissed her, his boss wants him canned, and the local mob wants to bump him off because he's hot on their trail. Can Johnny blow the lid off an important crime scoop, get the girl, and keep himself from getting killed?

Winner of the Audience Award at the Slamdance Festival and a feast for the eyes in glorious black and white, Man of the Century is an "unforgettable movie experience!" (Sarah Hepola, Austin Chronicle).
