It's Season 12 Opening Night at the Pickwick Theatre Classic Film Series! Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston), a Mexican narcotics investigator, sets out to uncover the facts surrounding a car bomb that has killed a wealthy American businessman on the US side of the border. As Vargas investigates, his newly-wed wife Susie (Janet Leigh) is kidnapped by a gang out to exact vengeance for the prosecution of the brother of their leader. Meanwhile, Vargas' enquiries become progressively more obfuscated by the American cop Hank Quinlan (Orson Welles) who alternately conspires with Susie's captors and seeks solace in the brothel of the Gypsy madame (Marlene Dietrich) who comforted him in bygone times. Directed by Orson Welles. (A 4K DCP of the 1998 revised version.) Admission is $12/$10 advance or $10 for the 1 PM matinee.
