Join us on Saturday, May 18, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. EST for Of Human Bondage (1934), directed by John Cromwell, starring Leslie Howard, Bette Davis, Frances Dee, Kay Johnson, Reginald Denny, Alan Hale, Reginald Owen.

This classic adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham’s acclaimed novel is a dramatically gripping tale that follows a hapless young medical student (Leslie Howard) whose infatuation with the alluring yet deceitful Mildred Rogers (Bette Davis) becomes an all-consuming obsession, leading down a path of emotional turmoil, self-destruction, and finally, personal redemption. Davis’ electrifying, star-making performance alone is worth the price of admission, evoking magnetism and evil in equal measure. Released at the tail end of the pre-Code era, the film’s bold exploration of sexual obsession and the complexities of human relationships continues to remind us of its enduring appeal.

Our wonderful pre-show begins at 7:15. Don’t miss it!

Please note: We have started using Zoom’s waiting room function due to some disruptive guests at recent screenings. You don’t have to do anything different, but you will be in a waiting room before being admitted, so please plan to log in a few minutes early!

There is no charge for this screening, but we are suggesting a donation of $10 to help cover ongoing costs

    I was unable to watch the March 26 presentation. On Saturday I received emails inviting me to log in but everything I tried failed. “Not Available”.

    You may keep the $20 I donated. My gift.
