99 RIVER STREET
7:00 PM
Very few films captured as well as 99 River Street the pulpy delights of 1950s paperback crime fiction, making this perhaps the signature film of slam-bang director Phil Karlson. Amid the gaggle of tough guys, Evelyn Keyes and Peggie Castle radiate sexy charisma. A “one long night” thriller that delivers nail-biting suspense start to finish. Presented in 35mm.
1953, United Artists [Park Circus]. 83 min. Dir. Phil Karlson
THE LONG WAIT
9:00 PM
Johnny McBride (Anthony Quinn) is injured in a car ac cident and wakes to discover he has no memory and no fingerprints! Then he discovers he’s wanted for murder! This Mickey Spillane story has one of the genre’s kinkiest climaxes, making maximum use of fulsome fifties femme Peggie Castle. Presented digitally.
1954, United Artists [Park Circus]. 94 min. Dir. Victor Saville
