Join us for the only show where you won’t know what the film is until the screen lights up! This month’s host, Adam Graham, the Detroit News film critic, will stick around for a lively post-screening discussion and share why he chose this film. Follow our instagram page (@MotorCityCinemathque) for daily clues about the film and the chance to win prizes! Secret Cinematheque takes place the 2nd Thursday of every month.

King Creole (1958): Elvis Presley stars as a troubled youth whose singing sets New Orleans rockin’. With a sweet girl to love and nighclubbers cheering, it seems he will shake off his past and head for the top. But will a mobster and his man-trap moll snare him in a life of crime? Directed by Michael Curtiz. The Crimson Canary (1945): Members of a jazz band come under suspicion when a beautiful nightclub singer is murdered. Shown on 35mm film.

In addition to being able to purchase and have Bob sign the book, we will also be screening several of Welles’ commercials featured in the book with Bob’s commentary.  Finally, we will show several clips of a rare Welles feature film.
