Tattered Cover Film Series - Green for Danger
Start: 7:00 pm
Starz FilmCenter: Join the Tattered Cover Book Store, UCD’s College of Arts & Media, Colorado Public Radio, and the Starz FilmCenter for an exploration of the world of classic movies, hosted by Colorado Public Radio film critic Howie Movshovitz at the Starz FilmCenter at the Tivoli. All programs begin at 7:00 pm at the Starz FilmCenter at the Tivoli. Admission is free, but tickets are required from the box office. Tickets are available one hour before screening. Validated parking is avilable in the parking lot directly in front of the Tivoli. This month’s movie is the 1946 Sidney Gilliat classic Green for Danger. A witty British thriller set in a hospital emergency room during World War II, with Alistair Sim as the investigator, who also narrates the film and from time to time hasn’t a clue about either the case or the German buzz bombs that punctuate the story. Trevor Howard plays the anesthesiologist, and Sally Gray is the woman who may end their engagement. (93 minutes) For information on the Starz FilmCenter go to starzfilmcenter.com For a PDF of our Tattered Cover Film Series flyer, please click Tattered Cover Film Series flyer.
