Print this pageMust-See Cinema! Hitchcock’s one-take mystery!
Showtimes:
No screenings currently scheduled.
One of Hitchcock’s more experimental films, with the tale of two young gays, keen to prove their intellectual and spiritual superiority, killing a friend and hiding his body in a trunk in order to see whether dinner guests will suspect anything. Constructed entirely from uncut ten-minute takes, shot on a beautifully-constructed set, it’s certainly a virtuoso piece of technique... Add to that the black wit and strong performances from Dall, Granger and Stewart, and you have a perverse, provocative entertainment.

The ByTowne doesn't have a parking lot of its own, but denizens of downtown can usually find street parking close by fairly easily.
This web site is very useful, but the hard copy of the ByTowne guide still has its merits. People rely on it and love it. Plus, its calendar pages can be pulled out and posted on your fridge door, something that we still can't achieve with the web site.
