The Green Cockatoo, Jet Storm

Join us for two vintage British thrillers presented in conjunction with Cinevent, Columbus’s annual gathering of cinephiles and collectors.

Written by Graham Greene, the hard-boiled proto-noir The Green Cockatoo follows nightclub singer John Mills as he tries to help new-to-London René Ray flee a false murder charge. The twist? Neither knows the body belongs to Mills’s brother. Score by Miklós Rózsa. (65 mins., 35mm) In Jet Storm, tensions mount aboard a crowded airplane when a mourning father (Richard Attenborough) announces he’s identified the man who killed his daughter in a hit-and-skip accident and has placed a bomb on board to get his revenge. Directed by Cy Endfield (Zulu) and also featuring Stanley Baker, Hermione Baddeley, and Diane Cilento. (88 mins., DCP)
