$13.00 - in person$13.75 - online
John Jones (Joel McCrea) is an American reporter assigned to Britain to get the low-down on the impending war. What he uncovers is a dastardly plot to undermine the Allies in this white-knuckle spy caper, full of suspense, sex appeal and outright fun. Hitchcock dropped both of his first two American movies in 1940, this and Rebecca, and both were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.
Presented by The Heights Theater and The Trylon Cinema.

In the 19th Century, ships are being wrecked by a mysterious sea monster. When the U.S Navy decides to investigate, they call upon noted Professor Aronnax (Paul Lukas) to help them. Sure enough, the sea monster wrecks the ship, and Aronnax, his assistant Conseil (Peter Lorre), and sailor Ned Land (Kirk Douglas) survive, only to be picked up by the monster itself—the submarine Nautilus, perhaps the coolest ship in movie history this side of Star Wars. Run by the brilliant turtlenecked vegetarian Captain Nemo (James Mason), the Nautilus seeks out warships in order to stop international arms dealers. Disney’s visually stunning film is at once thrilling, funny, and thought-provoking, a children’s adventure with a terrorist hero and a decidedly anti-war stance.

Sam Flusky (Joseph Cotten) is a reformed convict in 19th Century Australia, a murderer turned landowner living in luxury with his high-strung, formerly aristocratic wife, Henrietta (Ingrid Bergman). Enter Charles (Michael Wilding), the Governor's greedy cousin, who eyes Sam's land and knows the Fluskys darkest secrets. Hitchcock's lush and lurid costume-drama was panned in its time and was a rare box office failure, but has since been championed as an underseen classic. This one has probably not screened in town since its release over 75 years ago.

Melanie (Tippi Hedren) wants Mitch (Rod Taylor). Annie (Suzanne Pleshette) also wants Mitch. Mitch's mother (Jessica Tandy) doesn't want either woman touching her darling boy. When Melanie comes for a visit to Mitch's small town, the suppressed anger, jealousy and betrayal erupts in an ornithological mania which drives birds to murder. With its insane special effects and stunning violence, for some, The Birds is laughably bizarre; for others, it is a masterly examination on Freudian sexual politics. You be the judge.

The ribald tale of Korean War combat surgeons "Hawkeye" Pierce (Donald Sutherland), "Duke" Forrest (Tom Skerrit), and “Trapper” John (Elliott Gould), who wreak havoc on their mobile surgical unit stationed right next to the front line, M*A*S*H veers between hilarious hi-jinks and barely contained fury at the utter futility of war. Robert Altman’s thumb in the eye to Army life was the perfect counterculture flick for the Vietnam generation, and has since been regarded as a classic, which spawned one of the most popular television shows of all time. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival.

75TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING!
Billie Dawn (Holliday) is a blonde bombshell, a former dancer who is now the fiancée of a corrupt junkyard tycoon, Harry (Broderick Crawford). Problem: Harry’s hoping to buy himself a congressman, and in D.C. he’s finding out that Billie’s foul mouth offends the dignitaries he needs to impress. Enter Paul Verrall (William Holden), a journalist looking for a scoop. When Harry asks Paul to help polish his tarnished fiancée, little does Harry realize an educated Billie might not cotton to being a stooge anymore. With BORN YESTERDAY, Judy Holliday reprised her role in the smash Broadway hit, took the nation by storm, and won a surprising Best Actress Oscar in what has become one of the funniest—and most influential—comedies of all time.

Geneviève (Catherine Deneuve, in a star-making role) is the daughter of an umbrella shop owner. Her lover is Guy (Nino Castelnuovo), a hunk of a garage mechanic. Life should be a joy for these young lovers, and is until he’s drafted to fight in the Algerian War. With music by Michael Legrand and an astonishing color palette from cinematographer Jean Rabier, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is an utter delight.

Case in point: Jeffrey Moss (Dean Martin) a struggling playwright with a drinking problem (and they cast ol’ Dean-o?!?) Dispirited over a potential failure, Jeffrey hits the bottle, so Ella takes it upon herself to help the man out, with hilarious results. Reprising her Broadway smash, Holliday has never been more charming.

Gladys (Holliday) has been struggling in New York for two long years. After having been fired, she sits in Central Park, where she meets documentary filmmaker Pete Sheppard (Jack Lemmon), who films her for his movie about the everyday people of the city. He’s smitten, and so is she—except in her case, it’s with an enormous billboard overlooking Columbus Circle. Using the thousand bucks she’s saved, she has an ad agency slap her name on it, and off she goes, rocketing to fame almost overnight. This loony cautionary tale is equal parts funny, charming, and romantic, and was Jack Lemmon’s first star turn.

Donald keeps running away from school to join the Navy. When Susan asks the sailors to help convince her kid brother to say in school, Joe falls hard for her. A tremendous hit in its time, Anchors Aweigh is a fun romp through wartime Hollywood, and features a dynamite number with Kelly dancing along with an animated Jerry the Mouse.

One of our most popular features in a stunning new 70mm restoration. WHAT?!? That’s right, North by Northwest, one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most triumphantly entertaining films, has had a mind-blowing 70mm restoration, and we’re bringing it to the Twin Cities. Charming ad man Roger O. Thornhill (or ROT, to his friends) must run for his life when he's mistaken for an American spy by a dastardly criminal organization. Hitchcock urged screenwriter Ernest Lehman to pull out all the stops, resulting in a breathtaking adventure whose insane plot twists work in spite of themselves. Cary Grant was never more charming, Eve Marie Saint never more alluring, and Hitchcock never more assured.

Set in Paris’ theatrical society in the early 19th Century, Children of Paradise is the story of a mysterious courtesan who is beloved by four men: an actor, a thief, a count, and a mime. Director Marcel Carné and screenwriter Jacques Prévert create a lush world in stunning contrast to the Nazi-controlled France in which they were filmmaking. One of the most beloved French films of all-time, director François Truffaut famously said that he would give up all of his films to have made Children of Paradise, and in a 1995 survey, French film critics called it the best film ever made.

This brave and biting comedy by Charlie Chaplin was his first sound film, and most successful picture. Released at a time when the U.S. was still in a tenuous truce with Germany, The Great Dictator not only satirized the Fuhrer, but accurately revealed Hitler's hunger for world domination and his dangerous policies against the Jews. The Great Dictator is not only one of the greatest movies of all-time, but perhaps the most important comedy ever made.

Boris Karloff met his match with Elsa Lanchester, who plays the Bride of Frankenstein and sports perhaps the greatest hairdo in Hollywood's long history of great hairdos. Her performance was years ahead of its time, the kind of thing that wins Oscars today and was the perfect foil to Karloff. James Whale attempted to camp up this sequel, but the result is a film that many consider superior to the first, more emotional and less stagy, and perhaps the greatest of Universal's celebrated horror films.

Hans Wieland is a brilliant actor, a leading figure in German cinema. When the Nazis pressure him to divorce his Jewish wife, Elisabeth, he refuses. Finally, political pressure becomes too much, and, realizing that he will be arrested, his wife to be sent to a concentration camp, he faces the ultimate test of his love. Based on the real-life story of actor Joachim Gottschalk, Kurt Maetzig’s Marriage in the Shadows was the first movie (produced under Soviet auspices) to confront Germans about their treatment of Jews, and the only postwar film to be released simultaneously in both the East and West Germany. A brilliant and heartbreaking film, shot like a noir but filled with the rarefied emotions of a melodrama, this rare screening should not be missed.
In German with English subtitles.
