April at the Heights
One of the year’s most anticipated festivals returns! That’s right; it’s the annual Hitchcock Film Festival, five classics from the Master of Suspense, including a newly restored 70mm print of Vertigo and a film rarely screened in America, Under Capricorn. All films at the Heights Theater.
(1941, 99m) w/Joan Fontaine, Cary Grant. Lina (Fontaine) wonders whether she’ll ever be married. Johnnie (Grant) meets her on a train and falls head over heels. Perfect, right? Except that maybe he’s a debt-ridden psychopath hungry for her fortune. Fontaine won the Oscar for Best Actress for her intense performance. 7:30 $16 Tickets

(1940, 120m) w/Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall. John Jones (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. 7:30 $13 Tickets

(1950, 117m) w/Joseph Cotten, Ingrid Bergman, Michael Wilding.
