THE LADY FROM SHANGAI Sunday, Feb. 10 3 p.m.
Another presentation of the theatre's Sex Symbols of the Silver Screen and film noir doesn't get any better than this 1947 thriller directed by Orson Welles and starring him and his then wife, the vivacious beauty, Rita Hayworth. The shootout in the Magiz Mirror Maze is a classic and the whole film is, well, thrilling.
