noir city 5 film festival

anita monga has programmed noir city 5, and it returns to san francisco’s castro theater from friday, jan. 26 to sunday, feb. 4. the 20 films in the program are mostly rarities (some i’ve heard of but none i’ve seen before) with tributes to glenn ford, burt lancaster, cinematographer john alton and screenwriter william bowers to name a few.

i am looking forward to catching anthony mann’s ‘raw deal,’ ‘cry danger’ starring dick powell & rhonda fleming, ‘affair in trinidad’ reuniting glenn ford & rita hayworth, ‘the big combo’ with cornell wilde, richard conte and jean wallace, ‘kiss the blood off my hands’ starring burt lancaster & joan fontaine, ‘i love trouble’ (get a load of its poster below… what’s not to like?) and fred zinneman’s directorial debut in ’glove killer.’ special personal appearances by marsha hunt & richard erdman, hosted by eddie muller.
