ETC:

ALFIE (1966)—Michael Caine became an international star as a charming but heartless womanizer sharing his philosophy with the camera in this relic of swinging London.

Directed by Lewis Gilbert (Shirley Valentine). Hallwalls

GISELLE—From the Royal Opera House in London, one of the most influential and popular of all Romantic ballets. Conducted by Koen Kessels. Choreographed by Marius Petipa after Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot. Starring Marianela Nuñez and Rupert Pennefather. Amherst, Eastern Hills

LIFEBOAT (1944)—The first and most successful of Alfred Hitchcock’s usually self-defeating experiments in restricting his cinematic canvas. A lifeboat in the Atlantic Ocean holds nine people: eight survivors of a ship torpedoed by a German submarine, and one of the sub’s crewmen. The war propaganda aspect dates it (even Spielberg might consider the Nazi caricature a bit excessive), but it remains interesting as an exercise in style, and a rare chance to see Tallulah Bankhead actually acting. With William Bendix, Walter Slezak and Hume Cronyn. Screening Room

MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE (Hong Kong, 1976)—Cult classic in which a blind man armed with the titular device is only the first of a parade of bizarre antagonists. Directed by Yu Wang (The One-Armed Swordsman). Screening Room
