IFC Puerto Vallarta Anounces Hollywood Classics Film Series

Movie Series. All of these movies, stretching back to 1940, won “Best Picture” Oscars the year
they were released.

The movies are only $40 pesos (with proceeds going to charity) and that includes free popcorn!
The cash bar will open at 6:30 with the movie beginning at 7:00 pm at the IFC Clubhouse
(directions below).

The Series kicks off January 12 with the 1940 Academy Award winner Rebecca. Alfred
Hitchcock's first American film, this romantic thriller starring no less than Laurence Olivier and
Joan Fontaine is based on the timeless novel by Daphne Du Maurier. Mysterious widower
Maxim de Winter brings his shy young bride home to his imposing estate Manderley where his
bride finds her life dominated by the sinister, spectral influence of Maxim's late wife, who still
rules Manderley and Maxim from beyond the grave.

All About Eve follows on January 19. Best picture of 1950 and one of the most acclaimed films
in academy history with 14 nominations, this classic features the legendary Bette Davis playing
stage legend Margo Channing. As Margo's star is dimming, Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter),
young, ambitious ingénue, becomes her all-too willing protégé and slowly this dreamy-eyed kid
spins a cunning web that eventually destroys Margo. George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Hugh
Marlowe, Barbara Bates, Gary Merrill, and Thelma Ritter also appear, and the film provided one
of Marilyn Monroe's earliest important roles.

For the fans of Marlon Brando we feature On the Waterfront on January 26th. Remember
when Marlon was such a hunk as ex-fighter Terry Malloy of “I cudda been a contender” fame?
This unforgettable drama about Terry's redemption from the mob and the gang-ridden new York
docks is among the most acclaimed of all time.

On February 2nd, you won’t want to miss the 1956 Oscar winner Around the World in 80
Days. Mexico’s beloved Cantinflas stars opposite David Niven in a role for which Cantinflas
won the Golden Globe Award for best actor in a comedy. Robert Newton and Shirley MacLaine
round out the great cast in this loveable adventure about trying to traverse the globe in record
speed in a balloon and getting into deep trouble wherever it lands.

Look for a future article with details of later films in the series, and see the full listing below.
