THE UNINVITED

4:40   8:35  Buy Tickets

(1944, Lewis Allen) Gothic Windward House is on sale for a song so siblings Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey go for it, but… Hollywood’s first ghost story, with a real ghost. 35mm. Approx. 99 min.

“Proceed at your own risk, we warn you, if you are at all afraid of the dark. For this fiction is as solemnly intent on raising gooseflesh as any ghost-story weirdly told to a group of shivering youngsters around a campfire on a dark and windy night.”
– Bosley Crowther, The New York Times

THE BRIDGES AT TOKO-RI

(1954, Mark Robson) Disgruntled Korean War flyboy William Holden is given a pep talk by Admiral Fredric March, and down time with wife Grace Kelly in Tokyo. And then there’s the next big mission. Adapted from a James Michener novel. 35mm IB Technicolor print courtesy Chicago Film Society. Approx. 102 min.

“It is easy to see why James A. Michener has publicly proclaimed that he is pleased with Paramount's motion picture version of his The Bridges at Toko-ri—not only is true to the original, almost to the word, but also succeeds in bringing the whole thing excitingly alive.”
– Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
