Prior to the movie, guests are welcome to “bring your own” alfresco dinner to the Redwood Room at Gateway. Guests may gather from 5:30pm – 6:30pm for dinner.

The Alliance proudly presents the classic film noir, "Laura".  Directed by Otto Preminger, the film stars Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Vincent Price, and a very queer Clifton Webb, in a role personifying the longings of unattainable love. Viewers will enjoy the moody lighting and period details in "Laura," which exemplify the closeted nature of its villain as this story of the beautiful advertising executive (Gene Tierney) found murdered in her apartment and investigated by WWII era heartthrob Dana Andrews, unfolds. While Andrews' hardboiled detective delves into Laura's demise, he becomes obsessed with her--especially after listening to accounts of her accomplishments from Waldo Lydecker, the Clifton Webb character, presented as both eccentric and possessive.

Chat and chew! Join us for a "bring your own" pre-movie dinner, held at the Redwood Room at Gateway from 5:30-6:30. Come early at 6:45 for a pre-movie discussion about how movies from this period portray LGBTQ+ characters.   Members, family, and friends are all welcome! Run time: 1 hr 28 min.
