Saturday Evening Double Feature

Actresses Highlighted: Jane Greer and Coleen Gray

Out of the Past 7:30

1947, RKO [WB] 97 min. Dir. Jacques Tourneur

Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas vie for the honor of being betrayed by Jane Greer, the most desirable of devil dolls, in this quintessential noir masterpiece. A grubby private eye (Mitchum) is hired by a sleek gangster (Douglas) to rein in his fugitive frail (Greer). Equal measures of poetry, poignancy, and hardboiled fatalism.

Presented in 35mm.

The Killing 9:30

1956, United Artists [Park Circus]. 85 min. Dir. Stanley Kubrick

You’ll think you’ve died and gone to hardboiled heaven. Or is it hell? Kubrick was only twenty-eight when he unleashed this twisty and twisted masterpiece studded with diamond-hard dialogue courtesy of pulp master Jim Thompson. Sterling Hayden arranges a clockwork racetrack robbery only to learn the hard way what happens to best-laid plans.

Presented digitally.
