Double Indemnity – Saturday, July 26

The third season of our Summer series of monthly screenings under the stars got off to a great start with the showing of Disney's Lady and the Tramp - and the impressive turnout included a large number of dogs in the audience - see a photo of the early crowd below. Up next on July 26: Billy Wilder's definitive film noir classic from 1944. Double Indemnity, starring Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and Edward G. Robinson, with a screenplay by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, adapted from the novel by James M. Cain. Few films arrive with such an impressive pedigree, and Double Indemnity has only improved over time. If you've already seen it, take the opportunity to watch with fresh eyes and focus on the amazing B&W cinematography by John F. Seitz, and Edith Head's slinky costumes for Stanwyck. The series continues on Saturday, August 23.  Instead of presenting one great MGM musical, we'll show favorite sequences from virtually ALL of them in 1974's That's Entertainment!. The series will conclude on September 27 with Blake Edwards' The Pink Panther Strikes Again from 1976, with Peter Sellers returning as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau. These outdoor screenings will be presented on the expansive lawn of the historic Doctors House in Brand Park. Admission is free. Gates will open at 6:00 PM to allow time for picnicking and socializing before the program begins at 7:30 PM. Please bring blankets, lawn or beach chairs for seating, and plenty of water or soft drinks to stay hydrated. The series is a presentation of Alex Film Society,
