MAN IN THE SHADOW

(1957, Jack Arnold) Modern big-time rancher Orson Welles’ henchmen go a little too far disciplining a bracero migrant worker, but Sheriff Jeff Chandler isn’t falling for the resulting cover-up. Welles’ character and make-up anticipate Touch of Evil’s “Hank Quinlan” the following year. Approx. 80 min. DCP.
12:35, 4:20, 8:10

BLACK MAGIC

(1949, Gregory Ratoff & Orson Welles) Welles’ real-life 18th-century con-man/magician/hypnotist Cagliostro helps bring down the French monarchy amid a cast of characters including Louis XV and XVI, Marie Antoinette, Madame du Barry, et al.  Welles himself co-directed, uncredited. Print courtesy Library of Congress. Approx. 105 min. 35mm.
