I agree with Jessica. If you are watching the Super Bowl live and not charging admission, there is no problem at all. If you were watching a show on HBO or other subscription channel, you would probably need to get rights. Sandra F. Jackson Film Program Coordinator Lumina TheaterĀ & Sharky's B

The three big-screen versions of Little Women make a great comparison. Each version (1933, 1949, and 1994) emphasizes different aspects of the text, through a prism of the concerns of those eras-for example, the 1994 version really heightens Marmee's feminism, whereas in the 1933 version, she's
