WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, Nov. 6, at 6 pm, the Clark Art Institute, in collaboration with Images Cinema, continues its Noir Film Series with a screening of "The Hitch-Hiker" (1953).

This program takes place in the Clark's Manton Research Center auditorium.

Two men on a fishing trip pick up a mass-murdering hitcher and are forced at gunpoint to drive him through Mexico until the fatal moment when he no longer needs them. Director Ida Lupino never relaxes the film's tension for a moment, yet her emotional sensitivity is also upfront: charting the changes in the menaced men's relationship as they bicker about how to deal with their captor, stressing that only through friendship can they survive. (Run time: 1 hour, 11 minutes)

Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.

Reminder to Lanesborough, Williamstown Voters: Mount Greylock School Committee a 'Write-In' Election

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Politicians and pundits in recent years have been preaching patience when it comes to getting election night results.

That usually means places like California, where vote-counting can be complicated or Michigan, where razor thin margins are anticipated.

Add Williamstown and Lanesborough to that list.

It is not a matter of pre-election polling suggesting particularly tight races; there is no such polling. Rather, it is a question of how voters will be making their selections in the race for the Mount Greylock Regional School District Committee.

None of the six candidates who qualified for four seats up for grabs on the panel appear on the ballots that have been mailed out, used in early voting or will be distributed at the polls on Nov. 3.

That means that all votes will be cast as write-ins, and that means it will take significantly longer for election workers to tally up votes in the local election once the polls close at 8 p.m. at Lanesborough Town Hall and Williamstown Elementary School.

As always, voters in both towns vote for all four seats on the ballot: two seats for Lanesborough residents and two for Williamstown residents in this year’s balloting.
