PRIVATE EYES AND FUNNY GUYS
We’re kicking off Season 5 with a memorial month for Max’s grandmother, a lifelong film fan with a fondness for classics, funnies, and film noir. What better way to begin our celebration of her memory (and her impeccable taste) than with John Huston’s brilliant adaptation of Dashiell Hammett’s novel THE MALTESE FALCON. Bogart, Astor, Lorre, Greenstreet, Elisha Cook Jr….and the coolest desk lighter you’ve ever seen. Toss on your fedora and down a hand of brandy: we’re going back to black and white, shadow and smoke, blood and deadly broads.
And brandy. Like, a lot of brandy.
