Don’t touch that dial
Get ready for sweat to drip down the back of your neck; The Valentine will screen a series of films by the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, as part of their Silver Screen Classics series. Dial M for Murder is one of ol’ Hitch’s lesser-known chillers, revolving around a husband who tries to have his wife murdered. Unfortunately for him, said damsel, played by the always-gorgeous Grace Kelly, proves more resilient than distressed. Friday, January 17, 7:30pm. $5. The Valentine Theatre, 410 Adams St. 419-242-3490. valentinetheatre.com
