The Classic Film Society presents the 1955 classic The Desperate Hours Saturday, August 10, 2019 at 6:30pm at Marycrest Senior Campus, Upham Hall Auditorium, 1607 W. 12th Street, Davenport, Iowa.
Directed by William Wyler, The Desperate Hours tells the story of three escaped felons (Humphrey Bogart, Dewey Martin, Robert Middleton) who randomly target a suburban house to hide out in until midnight, when an accomplice plans to deliver them money. They take the entire family hostage -- but midnight comes and goes without a delivery. As their stay extends from hours into days, homeowner Dan Hilliard (Fredric March) complies with the felons' no-police demands to protect his wife and two children, while trying to plot an escape from the desperate situation.
There is no admission fee. The Classic Film Society does accept donations of $3/per film or $10 for the entire season. For more information, call Bob King 563-391-3502 or email [email protected]. Parking is available along 12th Street and Clay Street.
