Orson Welles in 35mm!
United States | 1958/98 | Orson Welles
Orson Welles’ garish, flamboyant crime thriller is set in a sin-soaked hellhole of a town on the Mexican border, where a corrupt, corpulent cop (Welles) locks horns with a Mexican narcotics officer (Charlton Heston) over a murder investigation that spirals into drugs and kidnapping. We will show the reconstructed long version of the film, incorporating changes suggested by Welles in a 58-page memo to Universal Pictures. With Janet Leigh, Marlene Dietrich, and Joseph Cotten. Studio print! 111 min.
Special event pricing $12; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $9. No passes, twofers, or radio winners.
