Preminger, Vidor, Sturges, Fuller, Dassin, Huston, plus Bogart! Dashiell Hammett, Alan Ladd, and Gloria Grahame. Name-dropping of this caliber can only mean one thing; It’s film noir time at the Castro Theatre.
It seems fitting that this year’s 10th annual Noir City Film Festival should run for 10 days. From January 20th to the 29th the Castro Theatre will be once again feature an impressive line-up of some great noirtastic twists and turns with all the dialogue heavy banter we noir fans love. Expect saucy vixens, fedora donning thugs, deceit, heartbreak, guns, cigarettes, and melodrama. Aside from the names mentioned at the top of the post, this year’s highlights also include a live on-stage interview with Angie Dickenson (The Killers, Point Blank, Dressed To Kill), a 1940s themed gala, and two versions of The Maltese Falcon.
