The City by the Bay: Films Starring San Francisco

Lifelong Learning | Registration opens 4/28/2026 1:00 PM EDT

Set in a city filled with both grace and a sense of danger, we will view a variety of movies, from 1936’s San Francisco, through Bogart and Bacall in Dark Passage, Hitchcock’s Vertigo, Steve McQueen’s classic Bullitt, and the screwball comedy What’s Up Doc?  While watching them, we will tour Fort Point, Lombard Street, Russian Hill, and more as we see the city’s history and it changes.
