Film and Fashion
The Montauk Library will kick off Savoir Faire: Iconic Fashion in Iconic Films, a three-month series of landmark Hollywood movies, on Sunday at 2:30 with Alfred Hitchcock’s “Suspicion.” The films underscore the impact of costume design in a dozen classics, most of which date from the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s.
In “Suspicion,” a 1941 psychological thriller, Cary Grant plays Johnnie, a charming scoundrel who woos and eventually marries Lina (Joan Fontaine), a wealthy woman whose father disapproves of the union. As Johnnie’s lies accumulate, Lina begins to suspect he is plotting to kill her for her life insurance. The costumes for “Suspicion,” for which Fontaine won a best actress Oscar, were designed by Edward Stevenson.
Edith Head, who won eight Academy Awards for costume design, created the clothing for six films in the series: Hitchcock’s “Notorious” and “To Catch a Thief,” William Wyler’s “Roman Holiday,” Billy Wilder’s “Sabrina,” Stanley Donen’s “Funny Face,” and Blake Edwards’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
The fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy created gowns for Audrey Hepburn in four films in the program: Donen’s “Charade,” Wyler’s “How to Steal a Million,” Richard Quine’s “Paris When It Sizzles,” and Roger Young’s “Love Among Thieves.” Hitchcock designed Eva Marie Saint’s costumes for “North by Northwest.”
All screenings take place on Sunday afternoons at 2:30.
Inda Eaton Concert
The singer-songwriter Inda Eaton will introduce her most recent album, “Shelter in Place,” in concert at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Saturday at 8 p.m. The 11 tracks illuminate the allure and chaos of life on the road from the perspective of a safe and loving place, in this case Ms. Eaton’s house in Springs, where the music was recorded.
Ms. Eaton will be accompanied by Jeff Marshall and Michael Guglielmo, members of her New York-based rhythm section, and, from her national touring acoustic trio, Jeffrey Smith and B. Rehm-Gerdes. The lineup will also feature Lee Lawler, Rose Kerin Lawler, Eve Nelson, and Nancy Atlas. Tickets are $30, $40 on Saturday.
Drama at Jermain
The John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor will host a performance by the actor Gerard Doyle of “Fremont’s Farewell,” a short story by Shelby Raebeck, an East Hampton writer, Friday at 5:30 p.m.
In the first act, Ronald Fremont, an English teacher at a private school in the Hamptons, explodes in a series of rants as he serves out his last months before being fired for breaking down the boundary between student and teacher. After being fired, institutionalized, and writing a best-selling memoir, he is invited back to deliver the school’s commencement address.
Mr. Raebeck, who grew up in Amagansett, is the author of “Louse Point: Stories From the East End,” and “Sparrow Beach,” a novel. Mr. Doyle, who lives in Sag Harbor, has appeared on Broadway and television and toured with the English Shakespeare Company.
North Fork Short
“Greenport,” a 26-minute television pilot written and filmed entirely on the North Fork, has been released online at greenporttheshow.com and the Facebook and Instagram pages of the Manhattan Film Institute, a nonprofit in Greenport.
Written by Tony Spiridakis and directed by Shannon Goldman, “Greenport” began as a feature film script by Mr. Spiridakis about his autistic son. After a film deal fell through, Mr. Goldman suggested they write a television comedy pilot based on Mr. Spiridakis’s life, which involved balancing his Hollywood career with taking care of his aging parents and his autistic son.
“Greenport” took home seven awards at the New York City Independent Film Festival and was named best pilot comedy at SeriesFest in Denver and best TV series at the Manhattan Film Festival.
