A wait staff in color
May 8, 2010 – (Above) Waiters in loud jackets at Smith & Wollensky pose Friday night with Vincent Falk and Jennifer Burns (center) at a party following the Chicago premier of Vincent: A Life In Color. The documentary about Falk is being shown daily through May 13 at the Gene Siskel Film Center at 164 North State Street.

And now people can actually put a real person to the face, to the suit.” According to Burns, 197 people attended the sold-out first screening of the film at Gene Siskel Film Center. They included people who appear in the film, such as Sister Bernadette Eaton, one of Vincent’s teachers at St. Joseph’s Home for the Friendless, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg, Russ Dober, a former supervisor, Dennis Brozynski, a friend of Vincent’s, and Roberto Nassiri, owner of the clothing store on South State Street where Vincent buys his colorful suits.
