The Ladykillers

Screenings for Fully-Vaccinated Patrons on Sundays and Mondays

A crew of thieves led by Professor Marcus (Alec Guinness) pulls off a daring heist and tricks their elderly landlady—who believes them to be a string quintet—into sneaking the loot past the authorities. When things don’t go as planned, the crew must improvise to keep their treasure and ensure the old woman’s silence.

Starting August 1, we will offer screenings for fully-vaccinated patrons on Sundays and Mondays. We will require proof of vaccination to enter the JBFC Theater. Proof of vaccination may include your vaccination card, a copy of the card on your phone, or the New York Excelsior Pass app on your phone, in combination with your ID. You will not be permitted inside the facility without proof of vaccination on Sundays and Mondays through Labor Day. Please note, a negative COVID test is not sufficient for entry.

"A superbly elegant comedy"
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"A wonderfully macabre black comedy that really does improve with age"
Adrian Hennigan, BBC

This film is part of the Retro Revival series.
