Hangover Square

1945, 20th Century–Fox [Disney]. 78 min. Dir. John Brahm

In this Edwardian noir, George Sanders is a Scotland Yard psychologist and Laird Cregar (in his final role) is a distinguished composer who moonlights as a serial killer. Linda Darnell steals the show as a conniving singer with a grisly sendoff. Bernard Herrmann’s “Concerto Macabre,” centerpiece of the film’s climax, is one of the most thrilling works composed for the cinema.

The Wrong Man

1956, Warner Bros. [Park Circus]. 105 min. Dir. Alfred Hitchcock

Hitchcock’s only film based on a true story. Henry Fonda plays real-life jazz musician Emmanuel Balestrero, a bass player at Manhattan’s Stork Club, who is sucked into a whirlpool of circumstantial guilt and left to drown in New York's criminal justice system. With an innovative minimalist score by Bernard Herrmann.
