Proud, eccentric, and antisocial, Monsieur Hire (Michel Simon) has always kept to himself.
Based on a play by W. Somerset Maugham, William Wyler’s ravishing tropical melodrama The Letter is a scintillating showcase for star Bette Davis, who delivers a bravura, Oscar-nominated performance as a femme fatale who will stop at nothing to retrieve a letter that incriminates her in a murder. Lumet captures the intense, fearless performances and Williams’s hot-blooded storytelling and social critique with his customary restraint, resulting in a drama of uncommon sophistication and craft. Four Oscar-winning actors— Marlon Brando, Anna Magnani, Joanne Woodward, and Maureen Stapleton—shine in this enthralling film, which also brings together the legendary talents of director Sidney Lumet and writer Tennessee Williams. * Forty-eight-minute post-screening Q&A in Madrid from 2019, featuring Pedro Almodóvar, Agustín Almodóvar, and Paredes Ever since making their mark in the midnineties with La promesse, Belgian masters Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne have been a singular force in world cinema, honing their unique style of unembellished, heart-racing humanism in acclaimed slice-of-life dramas like L’enfant and The Kid with a Bike. With subsequent works like the black-comic revenge fantasy She-Devil, starring Meryl Streep, and the Nora Ephron–scripted father-daughter mob caper Cookie, Seidelman confirmed her flair for crafting offbeat comedies built around memorably messy, idiosyncratic women. * PLUS: An essay by critic Bilge Ebiri, 1964 * 112 minutes * Black & White * Monaural * 1.85:1 aspect ratio.
