Summer Classic Movies at the Ritz is transforming into the Summer Classic Film Festival, a full weekend of classic films that will feature the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock and his favorite leading lady, Grace Kelly. The festival will take place July 14-16, 2017 with all three of the Hitchcock-Kelly films and other special events.

On Friday, July 14, the Summer Classic Film Festival will kick off with Dial M for Murder, the first of the Hitchcock-Kelly collaboration. Preceding the screening will be a talk about the director and a delicious meal prepared by Indigo Coastal Shanty. On Saturday, July 15 at 4 pm, Mel Brooks’ delightfully silly parody, High Anxiety will be screened. Filmgoers can then take a break in one of downtown Brunswick’s participating restaurants for a special film meal and return to the Ritz by 7 pm to catch the highly suspenseful Rear Window. On Sunday afternoon beginning at 2:30 pm, light refreshments will be served along with a short documentary on legendary costume designer Edith Head followed by the final film in the festival, To Catch A Thief.

“We have been offering great classic films every Thursday in July since 2007, and we felt it was time to mix it up a bit,” says Executive Director, Heather Heath. “So many other organizations and businesses are now doing the same thing, that we were looking for a way to make it a more special event. Having a weekend focused on a great filmmaker or actor seemed like the way to go. And what better filmmaker to start off with than Hitchcock and his favorite leading lady, Grace Kelly!”

There will also be free popcorn provided by MTR Real Estate and free draft beer coupons courtesy of Tipsy McSways. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase to win fabulous jewelry donated by the generous folks at Ned Cash Jewelers.

A pass for all four films plus the Friday evening meal is only $35; individual movie tickets are only $7 each. Friday night meal and movie only $18/person. Reservations for the weekend pass or the Friday night meal ticket must be made by Monday, July 10.
