What happens
Catch Me If You Can is a 1959 American film noir romantic drama directed by Don Weis and starring Gilbert Roland, Dina Merrill and Greta Thyssen. The film was shot in Havana, Cuba during the fall of 1958, when the Cuban Revolution was nearly at an end. According to cast member Jonathan Harris, the finished film never left Cuba because it was seized by the new government. It was considered lost until a 35mm print was discovered in Portland, Oregon in April 2026 and screened by the Hollywood Theatre. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
