Program Description

Event Details

For the month of September, we will be watching movies from the silent era.  See early works by renowned Hollywood directors Alfred Hitchcock, Josef von Sternberg, Ernst Lubitsch and Anthony Asquith.  It will probably take some time to acclimate yourself to the style, but you might be surprised at how much of the techniques we see as modern were being used in 1920s.

On this night, we are watching Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 film "The Lodger" starring Ivor Novello and June Tripp.

A landlady suspects that her new lodger is the madman killing women in London.
