Join us for our inaugural Sunday Classic Matinee series starting at the Hiway this Spring – Running Wilder! In this new monthly retrospective series we will showcase an iconic film from one of Hollywood’s most versatile and legendary writer/director’s, 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 Wilder’s groundbreaking works on the big screen! The series continues in June with SUNSET BOULEVARD! Tickets are available now at hiwaytheater.org/specials
𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: A film noir featuring Gloria Swanson as faded, delusional Hollywood actress Norma Desmond. William Holden co-stars as the struggling writer she hires to edit the screenplay she believes will usher in her comeback. The story is twisted and cynical, the black and white cinematography is stunning, and writer-director Billy Wilder is at the top of his game. Often considered the best film about Hollywood.
