Temple Shalom Jewish Film Series Presents 'Midas Man'

Midas Man is a compelling biopic about the life and career of Brian Epstein, the visionary manager who discovered the Beatles in a Liverpool Club in 1961 and propelled them to become the greatest pop music act of all times. As the successful manager of his family's record store, he receives numerous requests from teenage girls for the German single "My Bonnie" by a Liverpudlian group called the Beatles. He goes to see the group perform, and is amazed by their hold over the audience, composed mostly of teenagers. Despite his lack of experience in the music industry, Brian offers to become the group's manager, assuring them that his experience selling records gives him insight into the mindset of their target demographic. The group accepts, and Brian launches their career by convincing them to clean up their image by wearing matching suits and haircuts.

A Wine and Cheese Reception will follow the 112-minute screening.
