Saugatuck/Douglas Library Movie Night "Rembrandt"

Get More Details:
Lightning steadfastly refused to strike twice for the director/actor team of Alexander Korda and Charles Laughton. Though the pair had scored an international success with the 1933 quasi-biopic The Private Life of Henry VIII, they couldn't make the magic happen again with 1936's Rembrandt. Laughton's performance is solid throughout, and Korda's recreation of Rembrandt's Holland is meticulous, but the film suffers from a lack of overall dramatic tension. Except for his artistic achievements and the deaths of his two wives, nothing really "happens" to Rembrandt--at least nothing as colorful as the escapades of Henry VIII. The best element of the film is the successful effort by cinematographer Georges Perinal to recreate the famous "Rembrandt lighting" effect in each scene. Laughton is given fine support by Elsa Lanchester (his real-life wife), and by legendary stage star Gertrude Lawrence in a rare film role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night-"Death On The Nile"
Date: Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Start Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
Join Hercule Poirot, everybody’s favorite Belgian detective, as The Red Barn Theater’s film series continues March 27 with “Death on the Nile” a luxurious 1978 production featuring Peter Ustinov, Bette Davis, Angela Lansbury, Maggie Smith and David Niven.
Based on Agatha Christie’s 1937 novel, the film finds Poirot (Ustinov) aboard a steamer cruising the Nile with a gaggle of nasty folks, many of them who want the wealthy heiress Linnet Ridgeway (Lois Chiles) dead. A killer grants their wish, and Poirot must find out who before the ship reaches port and the murderer makes an escape.
This was the second novel featuring Poirot to be filmed, after “Murder On The Orient Express.” starring Albert Finney in 1974. Ustinov presents a more humorous Poirot: “Steward, there is a cobra by the lounge. Please remove it.” Bette Davis, Maggie Smith and Jack Warden clearly enjoy their roles. Angela Lansbury manages to outdo them all with a delightfully over the top performance as the perpetually drunk author of erotic novels. David Niven portrays an archetypal ex-soldier, and Poirot's partner in the investigation.
Cinematographer Jack Cardiff uses the gorgeous Egyptian scenery to great effect. The 1930's setting also gives an air of genteel opulence to the surroundings. Because nobody expected the film to be a tension filled mystery, it is pleasant, laid back and enjoyable entertainment, but still clever enough to keep you guessing until the end.
Join host John Hardy at 6:30 p.m. in front of The Big Screen at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Hwy., Saugatuck, about a quarter mile east of Exit 41 off of I-196. Suggested donation is $5.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night- "The Trouble With Harry"
Date: Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Start Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
Fans of Alfred Hitchcock love to argue about “The Trouble with Harry,” The Red Barn Theater’s March 20 film series offering. Is this black 1955 comedy about a wandering corpse one of the director’s best or is it just an amusing and superficial sideshow in the Great Man’s pantheon of hits? Judging from reviews both contemporary and current, you won’t like this one if you take yourself and your Hitchcock too seriously. If you like a little fun with your mayhem, come on out.
Shirley MacLaine stars as a worried young mother whose son, a pre-Beaver Jerry Mathers, first discovers the body of Harry, his mother’s ex-husband. She thinks she killed Harry by hitting him with a whisky bottle. Edmond Gwenn is a retired sea captain who believes he killed Harry accidentally while hunting, as do several other villagers before the day is over. John Forsythe is a stalwart visitor who eventually figures out why Harry’s body keeps turning up all over the village and environs.
Contemporary reviewer Hal Erickson notes “The story's whimsical black-comedy elements are perfectly complemented by Bernard Herrmann's playful music score. Best bit: Mildred Natwick, coming upon Gwenn as the latter is strenuously dragging away Harry's corpse, asking offhandedly "What seems to be the trouble, Captain?" The Trouble With Harry was adapted by John Michael Hayes from the novel by John Trevor.”

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night- "Good Neighbor Sam"
Date: Tuesday, March 13, 2012
Start Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
Fans of screwball comedy are fulsomely rewarded as The Red Barn Theater’s film series continues March 13 with 1964’s “Good Neighbor Sam,” a perfect vehicle for the ever harassed Jack Lemmon and several television stalwarts of the era.
Under the direction of David Swift, the rollicking cast gets the most out of a plot that features a hundred comedic twists. Lemmon, as Sam, is a happily married man who lives in the suburbs with his wife, Min (Dorothy Provine of Warner Brothers television fame) and two nice kids. Min’s best friend, divorcee Janet (Romy Schneider) moves in next door with a big problem: she stands to inherit $15 million if she can prove she is married. Of course the Lemmon wants to help, so he agrees to pose at her husband.
The agreement also puts at risk Sam’s job at the Burke and Hare advertising agency, where he has received a promotion based on his good moral character. (Fans of nineteenth century crime will recognize Burke and Hare as the names of the two most famous body snatchers in history; they provided suspiciously fresh cadavers for Edinburgh University’s medical students.)
Watch for such television stalwarts as Louis Nye of the “Steve Allen Show” as a detective, Mike Connors (“Mannix”) as Janet’s estranged husband, and Joyce Jameson, a popular blonde bombshell as a hotel hooker.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night: “Murder by Decree”
Date: Tuesday, March 6, 2012
Start Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film series continues with 1979's “Murder by Decree,” featuring Christopher Plummer as Sherlock Holmes and James Mason as Doctor Watson in one of the most successful film continuations of the Holmes legend as the great detective takes on the mystery of Jack the Ripper. Director/Producer Bob Clark pulled out all the stops in providing a superb cast and superlative production values that make viewers believe they actually are in 1888 London.
The story makes full use of historical details surrounding tthe Ripper and his possible connection to the highest society, right up to the royal family.
Plummer and Mason clearly respect each other; Holmes is no unemotional machine and Watson is not a buffoon. Plummer makes the deerstalker cap and Meerschaum pipe as natural as breathing. He takes Holmes into undiscovered realms as the horror of the Ripper’s psychology grips him and Watson.
The rest of the cast is equally adept. Frank Finlay is Inspector Lestrade, David Hemmings is a policeman with a dark secret, Anthony Quayle is the police commissioner who tries to prevent Holmes’s involvement, and John Gielgud portrays a prime minister with cold political steel for a spine. Donald Sutherland appears as a psychic who claims to “see” the Ripper.
Susan Clark is moving as a prostitute who knows too much, and Genevieve Bujold is the woman in the asylum whose tragedy is at the heart of the mystery.

Saugatuck/Douglas Library Movie Night "Wait Until Dark"

Start Time: 7:00 pm End Time: 9:00 pm
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
Wait Until Dark is an innovative, highly entertaining and suspenseful thriller about a blind housewife, Susy Hendrix (Audrey Hepburn). Independent and resourceful, Susy is learning to cope with her blindness, which resulted from a recent accident. She is aided by her difficult, slightly unreliable young neighbor Gloria (Julie Herrod) with whom she has an exasperated but lovingly maternal relationship. Susy's life is changed as she is terrorized by a group of criminals who believe she has hidden a baby doll used by them to smuggle heroin into the country. Unknown to Susy, her photographer husband Sam (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) took the doll as a favor for a woman he met on an international plane flight and unwittingly brought the doll to the couple's New York apartment when the woman became afraid of the customs officials. Alone in her apartment and cut-off from the outside world, Susy must fight for her life against a gang of ruthless criminals, led by the violent, psychotic Roat (Alan Arkin). The tension builds as Roat, aided by his gang, impersonates police officers and friends of her husband in order to win Susy's confidence, gaining access to her apartment to look for the doll. The climax of the film, a violent physical confrontation between Susie and Roat in her dark kitchen, is one of the most memorable and frightening scenes in screen history. All performances are outstanding, particularly those of Audrey Hepburn who plays a vulnerable, but self-reliant woman, and Alan Arkin, in perhaps his best role, as the ruthless, manipulative Roat. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

Susy's life is changed as she is terrorized by a group of criminals who believe she has hidden a baby doll used by them to smuggle heroin into the country. Unknown to Susy, her photographer husband Sam (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) took the doll as a favor for a woman he met on an international plane flight and unwittingly brought the doll to the couple's New York apartment when the woman became afraid of the customs officials. Alone in her apartment and cut-off from the outside world, Susy must fight for her life against a gang of ruthless criminals, led by the violent, psychotic Roat (Alan Arkin). The tension builds as Roat, aided by his gang, impersonates police officers and friends of her husband in order to win Susy's confidence, gaining access to her apartment to look for the doll. The climax of the film, a violent physical confrontation between Susie and Roat in her dark kitchen, is one of the most memorable and frightening scenes in screen history. All performances are outstanding, particularly those of Audrey Hepburn who plays a vulnerable, but self-reliant woman, and Alan Arkin, in perhaps his best role, as the ruthless, manipulative Roat. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

$5 SCA Members, HAAC Members, and Students

Academy Award-winner Errol Morris' Tabloid follows the much stranger-than-fiction adventures of Joyce McKinney, a former "beauty queen" whose single-minded devotion to the man of her dreams leads her across the globe and directly onto the front pages of the British tabloid newspapers.
Joyce's crusade for love and personal vindication, as illustrated by Morris, takes her through a surreal world of gunpoint abduction, manacled Mormons, oddball accomplices, bondage modeling, magic underwear and dreams of celestial unions. This notorious affair is barking mad.
Equal parts love story, film noir, brainy B-movie and demented fairy tale, TABLOID is a delirious meditation on hysteria - both public and personal - from a filmmaker who continues to break down and blow open the documentary genre with his penetrating portraits of eccentric and profoundly complex characters.
In TABLOID, Morris concocts another jaw-dropping portrayal, this time of a phenomenally driven woman whose romantic obsessions and delusions catapult her over the edge into scandal-sheet notoriety and an unimaginable life. Long before the days of Lindsay, Britney and the 24-hour news cycle, Joyce McKinney reigned as the ensnaring Femme Fatale accused of sexual defiance. In TABLOID, she is back, and Morris offers up his best guilty treasure.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Presents On The Air: Comedy!!!
Date: March 2-4 & 9-10, 2012
Start Time: 7:30 pm Friday & Sat. 2PM Sunday
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
Classic comedy takes the Red Barn Theater stage as the Radio Players present 1940s and 50s programs featuring “Baby Snooks,” “Burns and Allen,” and the inimitable “Duffy’s Tavern”.Candy Jeltema, the Red Barn’s own Fanny Brice, stars in two Snooks scripts, “The Ugly Duckling,” and “Measles,” featuring Rich Weber as Baby’s long-suffering Daddy. Other cast members include John Hardy, Vicki Kavanaugh, Karen Drongowski, Phil Drongowski, Tom Mooney, Jane Dryer, and Dan DeWaard.
Everyone who followed last year’s high-level British nuptials will get a bang out of Burns and Allen in “The Royal Wedding,” centered on the marriage of Prince Philip and Princess Elizabeth in 1950. Ms. Kavanaugh is Gracie and Mr. Weber is George as radio’s funniest couple figure out a way to celebrate the goings on across The Pond. The rest of the players, with the addition of Andrew Plummer, portray the usual cast of George and Gracie zanies.
Economics becomes hysterical when Phil Drongowski as Archie decides to implement a ten percent price cut to stimulate business in “Duffy’s Tavern.” Drongowki gets to utter the immortal telephonic words “Duffy’s Tavern, where the elite meet to eat. Archie the manager speakin’. Duffy ain’t here. Oh, hi Duffy,” with which the show always opened. And Duffy never appeared in the decade that the show was on the air. Other cast members are Mr. Mooney as Eddie the waiter, Ms. Drongowski as man-crazy Miss Duffy, and Mr. DeWaard as the barfly Finnegan.
Reservations are encouraged. Call the box office (269) 857-5300 or email lakeshorearts@comcast.net. Tickets can also be purchased at The Red Barn, 3657 63rd St. at Blue Star Highway, a quarter-mile east of Exit 41 off US I-196.

Saugatuck/Douglas Library Movie Night "Two For The Road"
Date: Thursday, March 1, 2012
Start Time: 7:00 pm End Time: 9:00 pm
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
In preparing his romantic comedy Two For the Road, director Stanley Donen decided to utilize many of the cinematic techniques popularized by the French "nouvelle vague" filmmakers. Jump cutting back and forth in time with seeming abandon, Donen and scriptwriter Frederic Raphael chronicle the 12-year relationship between architect Wallace (Albert Finney) and his wife (Audrey Hepburn). While backpacking through Europe, student Finney falls for lovely music student Jacqueline Bisset, but later settles for Hepburn, another aspiring musician (this vignette served as the launching pad for the film-within-a-film in Francois Truffaut's 1973 classic Day for Night). Once married, Finney and Hepburn go on a desultory honeymoon, travelling in the company of insufferable American tourists William Daniels and Eleanor Bron and their equally odious daughter Gabrielle Middleton. Later on, during yet another road trip, Finney is offered an irresistible job opportunity by Claude Dauphin, which ultimately distances Finney from his now-pregnant wife. Still remaining on the road, the film then details Finney and Hepburn's separate infidelities. The film ends where it begins, with Finney and Hepburn taking still another road vacation, hoping to sew up their unraveling marriage. While critics did nip-ups over Stanley Donen's "revolutionary" nonlinear story-telling techniques, audiences responded to the chemistry between Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney, not to mention the unforgettable musical score by Henry Mancini. Note: many TV prints of Two for the Road are edited for content, robbing the viewer of Finney and Hepburn's delightful "Bitch/Bastard" closing endearments. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Grand Rapids Meijer Gardens Presents Butterflies Are Blooming
Date: March 1-April 30, 2012
(All day or non-timed event)
Location: Meijer Gardens
Category: West Michigan Coastal Surrounding Areas
Get More Details:
Butterflies Are Blooming is Meijer Gardens' most popular annual exhibition and the largest temporary tropical butterfly exhibit in the nation. March 1–April 30, visitors can escape the Michigan winter and mingle with more than 6,000 tropical butterflies flying free in the 15,000-square-foot Lena Meijer Tropical Conservatory.
The exhibition boasts more than 40 different species from the Far East, Africa and Central America. Each week hundreds of chrysalises arrive at Meijer Gardens and are painstakingly sorted, inspected, labeled and pinned in our sealed Butterfly Bungalow. The chrysalises are then placed in a special emergence area of the Bungalow where visitors can witness through a window their magical transformation into butterflies!
Once ready to be released into the conservatory, the butterflies are placed on plants where they acclimate to the environment and gain strength before taking to the air. It's a wonderful place for photos and just one of the opportunities for visitors to observe the butterflies up-close and personal. Throughout the tropical environment, butterflies can be viewed drinking nectar from the flowering plants and feeding stations, lighting on the odd nose or shoulder, and congregating along the stream beds, as well as in flight all around.
During the exhibition, the Lena Meijer Children's Garden offers special activities. Additionally, interactive displays are featured throughout.
