The Byronic Genius of Orson Welles Hits the Paramount, Hard

Orson-Welles_07-24-07.jpgTonight and tomorrow night, the Paramount's Summer Classic Film Series gives you a double dose of the man who once singlehandedly freaked out some radio listeners so much that they ran out on the streets, shooting at menacing water towers and searching for meteorites: the corpulent and magnetic Orson Welles.

First, enjoy 1958's border story Touch of Evil, recently restored and also featuring Charlton Heston; then, regardez-vous the best movie of all time, Citizen Kane (1941). (We would recommend refraining from shouting out "Rosebud!" at random intervals, though we know it's hard.)

Orson Welles Double Feature
Tuesday, July 24th / Weds, July 25th
The Paramount Theatre
7pm, 9:35pm, $7 (Students/Seniors/Kids $5)

Guest #1 I want to kiss you square on the lips. Clever. Very clever.

There will never be a transformer as villainous sounding as Unicron.
