Let’s all do our part to beat this thing so we can go back to the complete movie going experience!
In 1970, Italian writer/director Bernardo Bertolucci and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro collaborated to make one of the most visually stunning, influential movies on the 1970's and beyond.
And we're showing it on a Paramount archive 35mm print in a movie palace!
The Conformist tells the story of Marcello who does everything he can to fit in, disappear, and be accepted by his Italian society at large.
Unfortunately, it's the time of Mussolini and fascism so this means that Marcello joins the secret police and is given the task of assassinating a subversive professor in Paris.
Though Marcello does everything he can to be "normal" in this society-he's got a fiance, he dresses and behaves impeccably, we learn that his backstory and history tragically make him try to cover up and hide something he shouldn't have to hide.
Innovative and visionary both in its cinema and its LGBTQ societal themes, Bertolucci's The Conformist is one of THE seminal movies of the 1970's.
Best always,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR IN-DOOR THEATER SCREENINGS
REFUNDS:
We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry.
However if something last minute comes up and you can’t make the screening, for whatever reason, just write us at: community@secretmovieclub.com and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening.
WHY ARE THE TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN NORMAL?
In order for us to re-open, maintain health protocols (which includes operating at only 50% capacity), and screen movies on 35MM, we need to temporarily raise our ticket prices. We apologize.
However, if you could look at this as partially helping Secret Movie Club re-open indoor theaters and 35MM film screening, we would be eternally grateful.
As we can increase capacity, we will IMMEDIATELY LOWER ticket prices.
If you could look at this as all of us being in this together, we WILL remember your kindness.
HELPFUL MILLION DOLLAR THEATER MOVIE PALACE PARKING TIPS:
We recommend you go to ADD ONS and pre-order an all day $6 Grand Central Parking Lot Pass. The Grand Central Parking Lot is at the corner of 3rd Street and Hill Street just 1 block from the Million Dollar Theater entrance on 3rd & Broadway.
HOW WILL OUR STAFF MAKE SURE THE THEATER IS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE:
We will have staff in the theater (on both the ground and balcony levels) at all times who make sure everyone is wearing masks and obeying protocols. We will have signage at entrance, markings at concessions, restrooms, etc so folks keep 6 ft distance at all times.
Anyone not observing safe protocols will kindly be asked to leave. On top of this, we’ll be making announcements at the head of each screening to make sure everyone understands the rules & regs!
