| 'LARCENY' 1948 - Black & White | ||||||
|
With:
John Payne, Dan Duryea, Shelley Winters & Percy Helton |
||||||
|
Rick Mason (John Payne) and his partner Silky (Dan Duryea) are
two swindlers who set out to cheat a war widow. Naturally, things
don't work out as planned. A young Shelley Winters plays Duryea's
moll. She's bad. And that's good.
'Larceny' features a large role for one of Dark City's essential grotesques, Percy Hilton who was a bartender in both 'Criss Cross' & 'Thieves' Highway', a Hotel Clerk in 'Wicked Woman' and again in 'Larceny' where we find him behind counter in another flop house. |

| Monday May 12th - 7:00 pm |
 |
|||||
| 'RIDE THE PINK HORSE' 1947 - Black & White | ||||||
| With: Thomas Gomez, Robert Gomez, Wanda Hendrix & Fred Clark | ||||||
|
In the bordertown of
San Pablo, preparing for an annual 'Mexican Fiesta,' arrives Gagin: tough, mysterious and laconic. His mission: to find the equally mysterious Frank Hugo, evidently for revenge; or is it blackmail? |
||||||
| An historical rickety old carnival carousel is at the center of this left of center, noir comedy. Taken from a novel by Dorothy B. Hughes; who also wrote the novels 'In A Lonely Place' & 'The Fallen Sparrow', and a wonderful script by Ben Hecht, the dialogue, while dark and poignant moves along with a sense of humor not found anywhere else in the noir canon. Tension between the deadly and the comedic brings the viewer to the conclusion that everything is a bit off and that the unexpected will happen soon. | ||||||
| Thomas Gomez won an Oscar Nomination for his role as 'Poncho' the owner of the carousel and Gagin's spiritual guardian. | ||||||
| Monday May 19th - 7:00 pm |
 |
|||||
| 'NOBODY LIVES FOREVER' 1949 - Black & White | ||||||
|
With: John
Garfield, Geraldine Fitzgerald & Walter Brennan |
||||||
|
W R Burnett wrote the
screenplay, based on his own novel. Another example of "bilk the rich
girl." Of course, things get complicated when con artist Nick Blake
(Garfield) finds himself falling for Gladys (Fitzgerald). Gee, how do you
think Nick's "colleagues" will take it when they find out their man has
gone soft for the dame? Directed by Jean Negulesco Photography by Arthur Edeson who also lensed Frankenstein (1931), The Maltese Falcon (1941), Casablanca (1942) & The Mask of Dimitrios (1944) |

| With: Anthony Quinn, Charles Coburn, Gene Evans & Peggy Castle. | ||||||

a case of amnesia, and the victim finds out he's wanted for a murder.The
problem is ... he can't remember if he is innocent or guilty! Based on a Mickey Spillane novel, in rare noir story sans Mike Hammer P.I.. Spillane, himself, thought this was the best adaptation of his novels, in which that he didn't appear in as an actor. Directed by Victor
Saville who produced other Spillane stories to film; My Gun Is Quick
(1957) (producer as George White), Kiss Me Deadly (1955) |
||||||
