Join us for our inaugural Sunday Classic Matinee series starting at the Hiway this Spring โ Running Wilder! In this new monthly retrospective series we will showcase an iconic film from one of Hollywoodโs most versatile and legendary writer/directorโs, Billy Wilder. A master of both comedy and suspense, Wilder skillfully examined some of the most controversial and hypocritical elements of American culture in both his comedies and film noirs. With a career that spanned more than 50 years, Wilder played a pivotal role in the evolution of cinema. This six-film mini-series, scheduled from March to August, offers an opportunity to experience Wilderโs groundbreaking works on the big screen! The series comes to a close in August with ACE IN THE HOLE. Tickets are available now at hiwaytheater.org/specials
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฒ: Cynical, opportunistic reporter Chuck Tatum is in town to cover a rattlesnake competition, and when a local man is trapped in an abandoned cave dwelling, Tatum capitalizes on the story and manipulates coverage to circus-like proportions. Kirk Douglas puts in a sensational performance in this daylight noir, as director Billy Wilder puts forth his most biting take on the American culture of spectacle.
