The Green Ray
(Film)
Eric Rohmer's picaresque tale of Delphine, a gawky young Parisienne whose indecision about live and love lead to an encounter with the eponymous Green Ray, the diffracted light at sunset that offers an insight into self and lovers.

All About Eve (Film)
Bette Davis stars in Joseph Mankiewicz's classic drama as Margo Channing, acid-tongued star of the stage who takes the young, innocent, mousey Eve Harrington under her wing. But Margo's protégé repays her kindness by quietly betraying her at every turn, until she has climbed the dizzy heights once occupied by the star. George Sanders stars as the acerbic critic Addison De Witt, with Hugh Marlowe as Margo's writer Lloyd Richards and Gary Merrill as her lover Bill Sampson. The film won six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director but Davis and Baxter were both nominated as Best Actress and the split vote meant neither won.
Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Starring: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe

Rope! (Film)
Alfred Hitchcock's thriller is based on a hit stage play and the director shot and edited in such a way as to emulate the play, with a no-cut continuous narrative. John Dall and Farley Granger play Brandon Shaw and Philip Morgan, two roommates who, convinced of their Nietzschean superiority, murder an old school friend, David Kentley. They hide the body in a wooden trunk which becomes the table for a cocktail party they are throwing, to which are invited their old teacher Rupert Cadell, Kentley's father Henry and Kentley's fiancee Janet Walker among others. As the party proceeds, the two murderers' braggadocio arouses Cadell's suspicions and his astute questioning and the duo's arrogance lead to their downfall.
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: James Stewart, John Dall, Farley Granger, Cedric Hardwicke, Constance Collier, Douglas Dick
(1948, PG, 3 Star) (Get more information on this movie)
