MAY 3 | 7PM | ROPE (1948)

Just before hosting a dinner party, Philip Morgan (Farley Granger) and Brandon Shaw (John Dall) strangle a mutual friend to death with a piece of rope, purely as a Nietzsche-inspired philosophical exercise. Hiding the body in a chest upon which they then arrange a buffet dinner, the pair welcome their guests, including the victim's oblivious fiancée (Joan Chandler) and the college professor (James Stewart) whose lectures inadvertently inspired the killing.

DINNER AND A MOVIE

Join us in our lobby for supper-table style seating and savor the flavors of yesteryear as we bring back two of our “Camelot Classic,” meals. Enjoy a delicious dinner at 6pm followed by a timeless film screening at 7pm. Each month we’ll feature either our Meatloaf Classic served with Mashed Potatoes and a house made gravy for dipping or hand-tossed Panko-encrusted Cod served with crispy fries.
