The Woman in the Window 7:00
1944, International Pictures [Universal]. 107 min. Dir. Fritz Lang
Another 1944 film crucial to the development of film noir, this lauded suspenser stars Edward G. Robinson as a middle-aged husband whose accidental meeting with a gorgeous femme fatale (Joan Bennett) leads to murder, blackmail, and suicide. Fritz Lang’s clever direction and the performances of the leads—including Dan Duryea’s sinister dandy—made this a big hit.
Presented digitally.
Murder, My Sweet 9:15
1944, RKO [WB]. 95 min. Dir. Edward Dmytryk
Philip Marlowe (Dick Powell), quintessential L.A. private eye, searches for an ex-con’s girlfriend, but winds up swimming in deceit and double-crosses. A brilliant evocation of novelist Raymond Chandler’s favorite corrupt city, featuring tempting Claire Trevor as the femme fatale, a role that re-vamped her career.
Presented in 35mm.
