| My Cousin Rachael 1952 Dir. Henry Koster | |||||
| w/ Olivia de Havilland, Richard Burton & Audrey Dalton | |||||
| Based on a Daphne du Maurier novel, 'My Cousin Rachael" features Richard Burton in an early role as the young and rich 1800s Englishman Philip Ashley. When his cousin Ambrose dies, he is convinced that he was murdered by his new wife Rachel to inherit his wealth. Suspicion turns to love, confused obsession and then the belief that his suspicions must have been unfounded. But were they???? | |||||
| This is a rare chance to see an obscure early 50's film noir nominated for 4 Oscars including 'Best Cinematography, Black-and-White' for Joseph LaShelle, no stranger to Dark City and the Oscar-winning cinematographer of 'Laura' (1944). | |||||
| Richard Burton received a nomination for 'Best Actor in a Supporting Role'. Burton did win a Golden Globe Award for 'Most Promising Newcomer - Male'. Olivia de Havilland was Nominated for Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actress - Drama' Excellent acting and high production values make this rare film well worth watching | |||||

| Bad Blonde 1953 Dir. Reginald Le Borg | |||||
|
w/ Barbara Payton, Tony Wright & Frederick Valk |
|||||
| Lorna Vecchi, the too young wife of wealthy Giuseppe Vecchi, finds young, upstart boxer Johnny Flanagan enticing ... too enticing. Unfortunately for Johnny, the sentiment is mutual, and they begin an affair, which ends in (you guessed it): murder! The real life Barbara Payton's self-destructive behavior was certainly reflected in her performance. Payton was run out of Hollywood and tried reviving her career in Britain. | |||||
| Great supporting roles by Sid James and John Slater, bread-and-butter character actors, make this a top notch British noir. | |||||
| Presented by Joseph Lim | |||||

| In A Lonely Place 1950 Dir. Nicholas Ray | |||||
| w/ Humphrey Bogart, Gloria Grahame & Art Smith | |||||
|
Based on a Dorothy Hughes novel, and
starring Humphry Bogart as Dixon Steele, a writer suspected of murder,
and Gloria Grahame as Laurel, who falls under Dix's spell and provides
an alibi for murder. Considered to be one of Bogart's finest
performances. In a Lonely Place is a masterpiece of noir that plays
equally as an indictment of Hollywood, and the estrangement of a human
and artistic soul. "Tell him to look for a man like me. Only without my
artistic temperament," Bogart's character states.
