NOIR CITY Arrives in Philadelphia this July

Join us for our first NOIR CITY: Philadelphia July 21-23 at The Colonial Theatre, located in the historic business district of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. The three-day extravaganza will feature nine films from the heart of Hollywood's noir movement: the year 1948, plus the FNF-funded restoration of Woman on the Run (1950).

The 1948 screenings include conventional noir classics like Orson Welles' The Lady from Shanghai, Anthony Mann's Raw Deal, and John Farrow's The Big Clock, as well as two supernatural noirs -- George Sherman's The Spiritualist and, based on the novel by Cornell Woolrich, Farrow's Night Has a Thousand Eyes. The festival closes with Preston Sturges' noir-tinged dark comedy, Unfaithfully Yours. FNF founder and president Eddie Muller will be on hand throughout the weekend  to introduce the films.

Beginning at noon on Saturday, Eddie will be signing copies of his latest book, Eddie Muller's NOIR BAR – Cocktails Inspired by the World of Film Noir, in The Colonial Theatre's Garden Suite.  The day's first film, Larceny, will begin at 2:00 pm.  Eddie will also have copies of his book Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir available for sale. Pre-signed copies of both books will be available all weekend at The Colonial Theatre's merchandise store.

The full festival schedule  and tickets for double features or single films are available here.

Oh, yes, I’m that bitter, selfish, vicious wife.  The cause of his unhappiness, the cause of his failure.  Is that what he told you?  Is that what he tells everyone?

“When she applied to run in the Boston Marathon in 1966 they rejected her saying: “Women are not physiologically able to run a marathon, and we can’t take the liability.” Then exactly 50 years ago today, on the day of the marathon, Bobbi Gibb hid in the bushes and waited for the race to begin. When about half of the runners had gone past she jumped in. She wore her brother’s Bermuda shorts, a pair of boy’s sneakers, a bathing suit, and a sweatshirt. As she took off into the swarm of runners, Gibb started to feel overheated, but she didn’t remove her hoodie. “I knew if they saw me, they were going to try to stop me,” she said. “I even thought I might be arrested.” It didn’t take long for male runners in Gibb’s vicinity to realize that she was not another man. Gibb expected them to shoulder her off the road, or call out to the police. Instead, the other runners told her that if anyone tried to interfere with her race, they would put a stop to it. Finally feeling secure and assured, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. As soon as it became clear that there was a woman running in the marathon, the crowd erupted—not with anger or righteousness, but with pure joy, she recalled. Men cheered. Women cried. By the time she reached Wellesley College, the news of her run had spread, and the female students were waiting for her, jumping and screaming. The governor of Massachusetts met her at the finish line and shook her hand. The first woman to ever run the marathon had finished in the top third.”

FNF prez Eddie Muller responds to film noir fan questions fielded by the Foundation's Director of Communications Anne Hockens. In this episode, we discuss Lightning Strikes Twice, Woman on the Run, Darwyn Cooke’s comic book adaptations of Richard Stark’s Parker novels, which classic film noirs should be remade, Eddie’s novel The Distance and more. We wind up the show with a discussion of the notorious psychological thriller Who Killed Teddy Bear. On the cat front, we get a rare visit from Tizzy the traveling cat.

Can’t join us on Thursday? No problem! A recording will be up on our YouTube channel, @NoirCity, on Friday, October 6.

Note: Eddie will not be able to answer questions posted during the livestream nor ones left on our social media accounts

The dialogue of LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE was nuanced, subtle, wicked, I wonder what male author has also sustained that continuous level of repartee? At the amusement park towards the finale of WOMAN ON THE RUN, the life-size Laughing Sally made me think it was San Francisco - am I mistaken?

Sara

Any news of a restoration/screening/Noir Alley showing/home release for CANON CITY (1948)? Morse

Eddie has expressed his affinity for comic books in the past, have either of you read the Darwyn Cooke adaptations of Richard Stark’s Parker books?

Nathanael from New Braunfels, Texas

Would Film Noir have existed if World War II had not?

John

Are there any classical Film Noir movies that might be worth a redo along the lines of NIGHTMARE ALLEY, with the chance of going back to original source material without the production code limitations?

Carlton, Atlanta, Georgia

In WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS Scalise keeps administrating what appears to be a nasal spray, but from my memory of Le Chiffre in James Bond isn’t it likelier that it is Benzedrine he’s inhaling?

Eric

One of my more favorite movies of recent vintage is EMILY THE CRIMINAL.  What do both of you think about the film?  

John - Brooklyn, N.Y.

I recently watched David Lynch's brilliant LOST HIGHWAY for the first time in several years and for the first time the very noir elements really stuck out for me. Is there another neo-noir with such strong sci-fi elements?

Joe on Long Island

My first question is for Eddie.  Do you consider Alfred Hitchcock’s SPELLBOUND and THE PARADINE CASE – both starring your favorite actor, Gregory Peck – to be good representatives of noir films?  

Anne, since you are a big fan of the Golden Era of Radio, were you a fan of the Alan Ladd radio series, BOX 13, and do you think it qualifies as a noir?  

Loren, Chicago

Re THE DISTANCE. Couldn't find any definition for "Swansy hollow punch". Could you elaborate? Did you make up the fighters' names or are they real names pulled from the past Was this your first book-length effort? If not, what was?

Why should it hurt me?  It’s all past and done with.  If you want to snoop into the remains of our marriage, that’s up to you.
