MOVIE SYNOPSIS
HANGOVER SQUARE
1945. 77min Not Rated Directed by JOHN BRAHM
LINDA DARNELL GEORGE SANDERS LAIRD CREGAR
Cregar stars as a musician with a Jeckyll-Hyde personality in this haunting turn-of-the-century
thriller. When a distinguished London composer learns of a murder that occurred when he
suffered from amnesia, he worries he may be the murderer. “A chilling psychological thriller
you won’t soon forget.” First time showing at The Screening Room.
FRI FEB 22 & FRI FEB 29 at 7:30PM
THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE
1969. 98 min Rated R Directed by DARIO ARGENTO
TONY MUSANTE SUZY KENDALL EVA RENZI
Hitchock-style thriller about an American writer living in Rome who is the only witness to an attempted murder. “Director Dario Argento's debut film is a remarkable work, based on an obscure 1950s pulp novel, Bird. Its execution makes it a highly original, inventive, and fast-paced film that plays with the conventions of the thriller genre. The score, editing, and camera work, however, give the film a distinctly Italian stamp, and established Argento as a stylish, innovative director to watch. The scene in which the writer is chased through the streets by a gun-toting assassin, in particular, is a little gem of suspense. Modern-day thrillers should hope to live up to this film's intelligence, energy, and intricate plot twists.” - Amazon Review
