Gene Hackman in NARROW MARGIN - New 4K DCP!

Free admission!
NARROW MARGIN
USA | 1990 | DCP | 97 min.
Director: Peter Hyams
Cast: Gene Hackman, Anne Archer, J.T. Walsh
Director, screenwriter, and cinematographer Hyams’ remake of the 1952 noir thriller is a gorgeous-looking, tightly plotted thrill ride that takes place almost entirely on a train barreling through the Canadian Rockies. A bespectacled Hackman stars as a deputy district attorney trying to hide and protect a star witness (Archer) in a high profile murder case. Narrow Margin plays like the Hitchcockian love-child of The Lady Vanishes and Silver Streak, highlighted by a truly spectacular climax atop the train which seems to have made surprisingly little use of stunt doubles. A newly restored 4K DCP will be screened! (BR)
