Witness For the Prosecution
USA, 1957, 116 min Presented in 35 mm Archival Print! Nominated for 6 Oscars® Directed by Billy Wilder Based on a short story and play by Agatha Christie Screenplay by Billy Wilder and Harry Kurnitz Starring Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Laughton
Ailing barrister Sir Wilfrid Robarts takes on a case, much to the consternation of his nurse Miss Plimsoll. Leonard Stephen Vole is accused of the murder of Emily French, an older woman he was seeing. Sir Wilfred has an uphill struggle on his hands. Although a reasonably honest –looking man, Vole does seem to have some moral lapses, behaving like a gigolo. And what’s Sir Wilfrid to make of his War Bride wife, the mysterious Christine Helm Vole? Sir Wilfrid and his glum solicitor race about like Sherlock and Watson to collect last minute evidence. All the threads converge in proper Agatha Christie style on a few crucial hours in the courtroom... -excerpt from Glenn Erickson, DVD Savant
Black Beauty
35mm color print USA/UK, 1994, 88 min, G Rating Based on the book by Anna Sewell Directed by Caroline Thompson Starring Sean Bean, David Thewlis, Jim Carter, Alan Cumming
A spectacular adaptation of the Anna Sewell novel, this is faithful to the source material but creates a life of its own on the screen. Told from the point of view of the horse, it recalls a time and a place that could be both beautiful and cruel. Black Beauty faced both hardship and kindness as he passed through the hands of many owners throughout his life. Some are generous, but the agonies endured by the title character may be too harsh for small children. - Excerpt from review by-Rochelle O'Gorman.
The Awful Truth
USA, 1937, 91 min Presented in 35mm Archival Print! Nominated for 5 OSCARS® - Winner of Best Director! Named to the National Film Registry, Library of Congress Directed by Leo McCarey Starring Irene Dunne, Carey Grant, Ralph Belamy
Producer/director Leo McCarey's stylish light comedy is a witty battlefield of marital misadventures, mismatches and snappy dialogue, with physical scenes of slapstick, spontaneous and improvised acting, and hilarious romantic antagonism between its two stars - Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. They appear as a mistrusting couple who decide to separate and file for divorce, but then attempt to sabotage and ruin each other's new romances and affairs... - excerpt from Greatest Films, Tom Dirks
