What evil lurks in the hearts of men? THE SHADOW knows! In the wake of Tim Burton’s Batman, a wave of comic strip inspired movies that drew on pulp and camp aesthetics followed. Films like Dick Tracy, Darkman, The Phantom, and THE SHADOW all tried to match Batman’s peculiar mix of darkness and cartoonishness. In this David Koepp penned adaptation of Walter B. Gibson’s pulp fiction stories, Alec Baldwin stars as a New York City playboy with a sinister past that is driven by mystical forces to terrorize the criminal underground as his alter-ego… The Shadow.

The Friday Film Matinee is an ongoing program at The Brattle featuring special screenings of 35mm prints on Friday afternoons. We know that seeing a film on 35mm is worth skipping class or leaving work early for so come play hooky with us as we celebrate the magic of ‘reel film’ at The Brattle!
