Lauded by Roger Ebert as "ambitious and inventive, and almost worth seeing just for Anjelica Huston's obvious delight in playing a completely uncompromised villainess," director Nicolas Roeg's The Witches enjoys an outdoor screening in Rozz-Tox's "Garden Cinema '90s Family Night" series on September 19, with Rotten Tomatoes' critical consensus adding that "Roeg's dark and witty movie captures the spirit of Roald Dahl's writing like few other adaptations."

Revered for its Oscar-winning black-and-white chiaroscuro cinematography, and currently boasting a 96-percent "freshness" rating on review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes, director Josef von Sternberg's 1932 classic Shanghai Express continues the “From Hitler to Hollywood” film series hosted by the German American Heritage Center, its September 17 screening at Davenport venue The Last Picture House treating audiences to a work that made New York magazine's 2020 list of "The Best Movies That Lost Best Picture at the Oscars."

With the five featured classics including Academy Award winners, iconic entertainments, and works that have inspired no end of unforgettable lines and scenes, Davenport's German American Heritage Center teams up with the city's The Last Picture House to present the “From Hitler to Hollywood” film series, a celebration of cinematic talent and industry boasting Wednesday screenings September 3 through October 1.
