WHAT: The Big Sleep and Three on a Match
WHERE: Heights Theatre, Minneapolis
WHEN: 7: 30 and 9:40 p.m.
A double bill of Bogie noir classics opens with Bogart and Bacall in a kind of screwball mystery, paired with an early Bogart film co-starring Bette Davis (and filled with the sort of sex, drugs, and tough-guy posturing common in the “pre-code” days of Hollywood). Learn more at heightstheater.com
