Tuesday Evening Double Feature

Actress Highlighted: Marsha Hunt

Raw Deal 7:00

1948, Eagle-Lion. 79 min. Dir. Anthony Mann

Dennis O’Keefe busts out of Pr*son hellbent on settling scores with double-crossing gangster Raymond Burr. Along for the ride are good-girl social worker Marsha Hunt and bad-girl gun moll Claire Trevor, duking it out for the soul of this vengeful homme fatal in a rambunctious road movie that Eddie Muller, paraphrasing Nick Lowe, calls “Pure Pulp for Noir People.”

Presented digitally.

Mary Ryan, Detective 8:45

1949, Columbia [Sony], 68 min. Dir. Abby Berlin

Intended as the first in a series of B features about an intrepid policewoman (stylish and vivacious Marsha Hunt), this engaging entry was the only one produced. Although modestly budgeted, it has a sharp and satisfying script from B veteran George Bricker, adept direction, and a supporting cast of B stalwarts such as John Litel, Harry Shannon, and June Vincent.

Presented in 35mm.
