Gorgeous Elsa Bannister (Rita Hayworth) lures seaman Mike O’Hara (Welles) into an intricate web of intrigue, betrayal, and murder. (The two were married but estranged during the filming.) The unforgettable finale in a funhouse hall of mirrors is an amazing demonstration of Charles Lawton, Jr.’s brilliant camerawork and Welles’s flamboyant direction. (87 mins., 35mm)

In the event of rain, the screening will move inside the center and start at 9 PM.
