“Mr. and Mrs. Smith” (1941)
“Suspect” (1941)
“Haunted” (1945)
Viewers have had limited features in recent months, essentially watching at home or in a drive-in. But at night, Cinema Under the Stars in Golden Hill is over to assign Alfred Hitchcock’s spy romance “Notorious. “
Doug Yeagley’s captivating and magical Cinema Under the Stars has been closed since December, but with the fall of COVID-19 cases, he was relieved to see that the state claimed last Monday that some companies, adding an outdoor venue like theirs, could reopen. So this weekend, he turns to a period film for other forty-something people to watch Cary Grant seduce a famous Ingrid Bergman in a damaging spy game.

“Notorious” stands out for a kissing scene, which faced the strict censorship regulations of the 1940s that said a kiss can last only 3 seconds. But director Alfred Hitchcock had a smart solution: just ask his awesome stars to interact in a series of 3. -Second kisses in two close-ups to attract the audience.
In addition to the warmth generated on the screen, Cinema Under the Stars will warm the audience with radiators and, in the event of rain, a retractable roof will be removed to cover the cinema and keep everyone dry. other people must wear a mask and the number of seats has been reduced so that seats can be socially separated into pairs.
Now, Yeagley just has to wait and see if old-school Hollywood’s master of suspense and glamour under the stars is enough for others to leave their homes.
