MURDER, MY SWEET

Plus The Three Stooges in Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb

(1944, Edward Dmytryk) “I caught the blackjack right behind my ear. A black pool opened at my feet. I dived in.” Dick Powell’s Philip Marlowe, sweating through a police grilling, flashes back to tell this story of murder, blackmail, sadism, sexual servitude, and bicep-ogling Claire Trevor. Based on Raymond Chandler’s Farewell, My Lovely.  Approx. 95 min. 35mm.

“The purest version of Chandler on film.”

THE MALTESE FALCON

Plus vintage Noir trailers!

(1941, John Huston) Humphrey Bogart’s Sam Spade traipses through Hammett’s San Fran to recover the world’s most coveted chachka — despite the malevolent connivings of Peter Lorre’s perfumed-card-carrying Joel Cairo, “Fat Man” Sidney Greenstreet’s Kasper Gutman, and Mary Astor’s two-faced “Miss Wonderly.” Approx. 100 min. 35mm.
