Blonde Ransom
August 29 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
The Vista’s weekend matinee series reaches back to 1945 with William Beaudine’s Blonde Ransom, presented in 35mm. The lighthearted crime story follows a woman who devises an elaborate ransom scheme in hopes of raising enough money to save her boyfriend’s nightclub from criminals.
Featuring Donald Cook, Virginia Grey, and Pinky Lee, the film offers an offbeat piece of studio-era entertainment well suited to the Vista’s morning repertory programming. Its compact runtime and playful premise make it an easygoing way to begin a weekend of classic cinema.
