Lamoille Valley Osher presents well-known film buff Rick Winston, who will look at some films that use the murder mystery genre to make larger points about social issues, whether it’s race (In the Heat of the Night), immigration (Lone Star), official corruption (The Secret in their Eyes), or class divides (Mystic River and Gosford Park). Winston’s new book Save Me a Seat! A Life with Movies recounts the history of Montpelier’s Savoy Theater, which he co-owned from 1981-2009.
