Jones Library Family-Friendly Film

Murder at the Movies

The Jones Library kicks off summer vacation with a family-friendly film on Tuesday, June 30 at 5:30 PM in the Woodbury Room. Cary Grant and Grace Kelly star in a Alfred Hitchcock classic, a splashy and fast-paced thriller set on the French Riviera that opens with one of the best car chases in movie history.

Local author and film blogger Lisa Lieberman will introduce the program. Her new Hitchcock-inspired mystery, All The Wrong Places, features scenes in the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, where Kelly’s character is staying with her mother when she falls for the cat-burglar played by Grant. “Grace Kelly in her last Hitchcock film before she became a princess. Cary Grant in a tuxedo. What’s not to like?” says Lieberman.

Copies of All the Wrong Places will be available for sale at the end of the film. All proceeds will be donated to the Jones Library. This event launches a recurring series of mystery films, Murder at the Movies, at the Jones Library.


For more information, please contact Janet Ryan at 413/259-3223 or visit the Jones Library website at www.joneslibrary.org.
