 Tuesday Nights at the Movies March 2026March brings comedic mystery, Pre-Code drama, and thrilling Film Noir at Tuesday Nights at the Movies Widows’ PeakTuesday, March 17, 7PM1994 101 minutes Join us this St. Patrick’s Day for an Irish charmer! This sly, character-driven comedic mystery unfolds around a reclusive Irish community of widows (led by Joan Plowright) unsettled by the arrival of a spirited young outsider (Natasha Richardson). Secrets and shifting alliances play out beneath the town’s genteel surface as the newcomer develops a rivalry with another resident (Mia Farrow). See Lily Williams’ review in the Chestnut Hill Local here. Torch Singer Tuesday, March 24, 7PM1933 71 minutes Claudette Colbert stars as Mimi Benton, a nightclub performer haunted by the loss of the child she gave up. The film moves fluidly between pre-Code decadence and sincere melodrama, tracing Mimi’s transformation from a cynical chanteuse to a woman seeking redemption. Along the way, the story explores themes of fame, maternal longing, and the emotional toll of living behind a carefully constructed public persona. By turns sharp-tongued, vulnerable, and fiercely determined, Colbert’s layered performance anchors the film’s striking shifts in tone, while its frank treatment of taboo subjects exemplifies the bold storytelling that defined Hollywood’s pre-Code era. The Hitch-Hiker Presented in 16 mm by Secret Cinema with Surprise Short Subject Films Tuesday, March 31, 7PM1953 71 minutes Join us for this Secret Cinema presentation and experience this movie as it was meant to be seen, on 16mm film. Originally an actress in films like They Drive by Night and The Sea Wolf, Ida Lupino – the only female director working in mainstream Hollywood at that time – made one of the toughest, most suspenseful works in Film Noir. William Talman gives a terrifying performance as a psychopathic killer, unfortunately given a lift by unsuspecting friends on their way to a fishing vacation in Mexico. Secret Cinema has been the Philadelphia area’s premiere floating repertory cinema series since 1992, bringing audiences films on celluloid, something many have never experienced. The Hitch-Hiker was inducted into the National Film Registry in 1998 for being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Tuesday Nights at the Movies Full Schedule Experience movies in a whole new light with our new 4K Laser Projection – brighter, sharper, and more powerful.
