Five weeks of Bogart on Saturdays at noon is Mr. Lavine's latest "back to basics" to draw solid crowds (an earlier 70s series over the summer did well, and prompted Cinema 21 in Portland to ask for follow-ups).
The lineup is strictly from TCM (MALTESE FALCON, CASABLANCA, THE BIG SLEEP, THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE and IN A LONELY PLACE) but you can't go wrong with Bogart on the big screen (just so long as you avoid screening something like THE RETURN OF DOCTOR X!).
Elliot plans a Hitchcock series in November (I'm guessing SHADOW OF A DOUBT, NOTORIOUS, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, and THE WRONG MAN). After a December hiatus, it will be four weeks of 50s noir, titles TBD, in January.
