"GASLIGHT" (1940)
MONDAY FEBRUARY 15, 2010. 7:30PM ALL SEATS $8.00 Advance tickets available
Starring ANTON WALBROOK, DIANA WYNYARD. directed by THOROLD DICKINSON.
So is Diana Wynyard going mad? That's what hubbie Anton Walbrook (The Red Shoes) seems to be telling her, even as he flirts with the maid in front of her face. "Lurking menace hangs in the air like a fog, the atmosphere is electric, and Wynyard suffers exquisitely as she struggles to keep dementia at bay."-Time Out.
Very sinister and menacing, this British version is as good, if not better than it's more famous 1944 American remake starring Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman. Not to be missed!
"BRIGHTON ROCK" (1947)
MONDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2010. 7:30PM. ALL SEATS $8.00 Advance tickets available
Starring RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH, CAROL MARSH. Directed by JOHN BOULTING.
"TERRIFIC! Graham Greene's movie-friendliness is in full cry. Brighton rock shows his preoccupation with the allure of sin...virtue is by and large uninteresting, and moral weakness, grubby and persistent, is the main attraction, irresistible as the tawdry pleasures of an English seaside resort."-Terrence Rafferty, The New York Times.
Pinkie Brown (Richard Attenborough) is a small-town hoodlum whose gang runs a protection racket based at Brighton race course. When Pinkie orders the murder of a rival, Fred (Alan Wheatley), the police believe it to be suicide. This doesn't convince Ida Arnold (Hermione Baddeley), who was with Fred just before he died, and she sets out to find the truth.
"IT ALWAYS RAINS ON SUNDAY" (1947)
MONDAY MARCH 1, 2010. 7:30PM. ALL SEATS $8.00 Advance tickets available
Starring GOOGIE WITHERS, JOHN McCALLUM. Directed by ROBERT HAMER.
"A fascinating noirish look at life in London's East End...the scenes between Googie Withers and John McCallum are stunningly erotic, and the movie ends with a spectacular chase through the London streets and rail yards. The use of lighting deep within the frame may prefigure Robert Krasker's work in The Third Man."-David Denby, The New Yorker.
An escaped convict tries to hide out at his former lover's house but she has since married and is far from keen on the idea.
"PORTRAIT OF JENNIE" (1949) SPECIAL JENNIFER JONES TRIBUTE SCREENING!
THURSDAY MARCH 4, 2010. ONE SHOW ONLY. 7:30PM. ALL SEATS $8.00 Advance tickets available
Starring JENNIFER JONES, JOSEPH COTTEN, ETHEL BARRYMORE, LILLIAN GISH. Directed by WILLIAM DIETERLE.
Jennifer Jones delivers one of the finest performances of her career in PORTRAIT OF JENNIE, perhaps one of the most romantic love stories ever filmed. Based upon Robert Nathan’s novel about two lovers who somehow meet but are separated by time, Portrait of Jennie was obsessively produced by Jones’ husband David O. Selznick over a 2 year period, and it shows in every frame!
The supporting cast of Joseph Cotten, Ethel Barrymore and Lillian Gish are outstanding, as is William Dieterle’s sensitive direction, Joseph August’s breathtaking Black and white cinematography and Dimitri Tiomkin’s haunting score adapted from themes by Debussy. But it is Jones’ picture, and she doesn’t disappoint.
If there was ever a film that needed and deserved to be seen projected from film onto a big screen, Portrait of Jennie has to be at the top of the list. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 35MM print courtesy Walt Disney pictures.
One of the hallmarks of PORTRAIT OF JENNIE is the incredible black and white cinematography by Joseph August, ASC. Here are just a few frame examples of the visual richness of this film....
