Join us for a screening of a different movie every Wednesday night at 6:30pm at Old Town Hall, located down the street at 201 Delaware St. Admission is a sliding scale of $5-10, though no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Refreshments will be available for purchase. BYOB.

On Wednesday, October 8, Movies @ Old Town Hall is proud to present Foreign Correspondent, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, 1940.

Hitchcock's next studio picture after Rebecca won Best Picture in 1941, Foreign Correspondent is a flawless example of a classic Hollywood thriller with perfect balance between comedy, tension and visual ingenuity. The impulsive slugging of a copy by reporter John Jones (Joel McCrea) gets the attention of his editor, who seeks a scribe to cover Europe's unstable situation without the biased tone of a foreign correspondent. Things get sinister when Jones' first interview subject, a Dutch diplomat, is assassinated in a spectacularly Hitchcockian sequence involving a gazillion umbrellas. From there, Jones is embroiled in a deadly plot to undermine the stability of the Western world.

Foreign Correspondent is 120 minutes long and unrated.
