Film noir, what critic Roger Ebert once called“the most American film genre,” is known for low-key lighting as dark as a killer’s heart, camera angles more skewed than a gumshoe’s moral compass, and weaving plots as convoluted as was to circumvent the production code.

Join us for a film series of dimly lit alleys, ambivalent motivations, hapless hard-drinking men and women who would just as soon kill you as love you.

UPCOMING SCREENING: The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)
Sunday, April 14th

Nick Smith (Cecil Kellaway), a middle-aged roadside diner owner, hires a drifter, Frank Chambers (John Garfield), to work at his restaurant. Frank quickly begins an affair with Nick's beautiful young wife, Cora (Lana Turner), and the two conspire to kill Nick and seize his assets. When they succeed, local prosecutor Kyle Sackett (Leon Ames) becomes suspicious but is unable to build a solid case. However, the couple soon realizes that no misdeed ever goes truly unpunished.
