In-Theater Exclusive! New 4K Restoration!
THE LADYKILLERS
United Kingdom | 1955 | Alexander Mackendrick
This classic Ealing Studios comedy—the 13th greatest British film of all time according to the British Film Institute—stars Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, and Herbert Lom (Inspector Dreyfus of the Pink Panther movies) as three members of a five-man criminal gang planning a payroll heist. Posing as classical musicians, these low-life thugs rent rooms from a sweet old lady, sharing her ramshackle house while planning the caper. This new 4K restoration was made from the original three-strip Technicolor camera negatives. Screenwriter William Rose subsequently wrote It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Cleveland revival premiere. 91 min.
Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8. No passes or twofers.
Covid safety protocols. Though Governor DeWine has lifted many Covid restrictions throughout the state, the Cleveland Institute of Art is currently keeping its precautions in place and is assiduously enforcing them. Masks must be worn at all times. Temperatures will be checked upon entering the building. Wristbands will be handed out by security and must be worn while in the building. Social distancing will be maintained in the lobby, restrooms, and theater. In the auditorium, there will be one-way traffic flow and seating will be spaced out, with certain seats and rows blocked off. Sanitation/sterilization stations will dot the premises.
Boxoffice and building. Though we will continue to accept both cash and credit cards at the boxoffice, you will notice other temporary changes to our operation. There will be no access to CIA's upper floors (including vending machines), nor to the ground floor beyond the theater and lobby. Our community candy dish will be put away. The Annex parking lot will be closed, so park for free in Lot 73 (off E. 117th St. south of Euclid) and enter the building through Entrance C (the only entry door that will be open) off Lot 73.
