Film Series– Hitchcock in the Afternoon
The 39 Steps (Originally Screened February 22, 2018) 
Based on the classic espionage novel by John Buchan, The Thirty-Nine Steps involves one of Hitchcock’s favorite themes: an innocent man on the run. Robert Donat plays the affable Mr. Hannay, an average fellow who encounters a mysterious woman claiming to be a spy pursued by enemy agents. When she is murdered, Hannay becomes the lead suspect, and his only chance  for exoneration is to stay one step ahead of police and spies alike. Not Rated, 86 Minutes, 1935

Film Series– Massachusetts on Film
 
The Thomas Crown Affair (Originally Screened June 5, 2019)
Norman Jewison returns to Massachusetts and actually films in-state, offering an exercise in essential cool as he sets icons Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen against a backdrop of fusty old 1967 Boston.  McQueen plays a jaded millionaire who stages a heist of his own bank (for the fun of it), only to find himself in a romantic duel with Dunaway’s oh-so glam insurance investigator.  Consider it a historic artifact with lots of 60’s innuendo, smoking, and ecological damage. Rated R, Some violence (mild by current standards)   104 minutes,  1968
