Hell Is a City in 35mm
Hell Is a City is a superb policier featuring Stanley Baker as Inspector Martineau, who hunts a murderer (John Crawford) while grappling with his crumbling marriage in the northern town of Manchester. Soaked in a jazzy score and paced with punchy dialogue, the film is one of several in this program in which an American is central to the story’s primary conflict (see also Night and the City, 1950, and Obsession, 1947).
This crime thriller is one of more than a dozen features made by the prolific Val Guest for Hammer Film Productions, the London-based company responsible for the bulk of England’s genre pictures from the 1930s into the 1970s. The film culminates in one of British crime cinema’s most thrilling climaxes, shot on location atop a building in Manchester.

Robin and Marian in 4K
Audrey Hepburn made a welcome return to the big screen after a nine-year absence in a touching performance as Maid Marian in this romantic swashbuckler with Sean Connery (at his most vulnerable) as Robin Hood.
Richard Lester (The Three Musketeers, 1973) directed the tragicomic original screenplay by Oscar winner James Goldman (The Lion in Winter, 1968), and the supporting cast features an astonishing assemblage of British acting talent including Richard Harris, Denholm Elliott, Nicol Williamson, Ian Holm, and Robert Shaw in a quietly powerful performance as Robin’s perennial nemesis, the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Black Sunday in 35mm
John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate, 1962) directed this epic international thriller based on the debut novel by Thomas Harris, creator of Hannibal Lecter. Robert Shaw, in a rare and welcome heroic leading role, is a world-weary Mossad agent on the trail of a Black September terrorist (Marthe Keller) and her unstable partner (Bruce Dern) planning an unthinkable crime on US soil.
John Williams’s score adds to the pulse-pounding excitement, and the screenplay by Ernest Lehman, Kenneth Ross, and Ivan Moffat gives the characters on both sides of the conflict their due.

The Deep in 35mm
The bestselling aquatic thriller by Jaws author Peter Benchley became a summer blockbuster under the direction of four-time Oscar nominee Peter Yates (Bullitt, 1968), with Robert Shaw commanding the screen as a Bahamas treasure hunter who aids a vacationing couple (Jacqueline Bisset and Nick Nolte) in a dangerous hunt for a sunken fortune.
The film’s memorable diving scenes benefit from the impressive underwater cinematography of second unit directors Al Giddings (The Abyss, 1989) and Stan Waterman, and the evocative score by five-time Oscar winner John Barry.
