Clark Art, Images Screens 'Pickup On South Street'

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, Nov. 20 at 6 pm, the Clark Art Institute, in collaboration with Images Cinema, continues its Noir Film Series with a screening of "Pickup on South Street" (1953).

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

Petty crook Skip McCoy (Richard Widmark) has his eyes fixed on the big score. When the cocky three-time convict picks the pocketbook of unsuspecting Candy (Jean Peters), he finds a more spectacular haul than he could have imagined: a strip of microfilm bearing confidential U.S. information. Tailed by manipulative Feds and Communist puppeteers, Skip and Candy find themselves pitting greed against redemption and passion against self-preservation.  (Run time: 1 hour, 20 minutes)

Colleen Taylor of Baystate Hospitality Group poses with a wood-fired pizza oven that will be used on Friday evenings at the Store at Five Corners.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Front and center on the website of the Store at Five Corners is a boast that harkens to the South Williamstown venue's history.

 

"George Washington had breakfast here," the website reads. "You can too."

 

That may be true. But George had to wait for his breakfast burrito.

 

You don't have to.

 

"Early risers love breakfast sandwiches and their coffee," proprietor Colleen Taylor said after Wednesday morning's ribbon cutting at the reopened historic store. "Another interesting thing that we're going to change that wasn't [here] is you can order ahead.

 

"So you have the ability to order before you arrive. So if you come through here every morning, you can order from your home, and when you arrive, it'll be all set.
