Film: THE SPIRITUALIST (d. Bernard Vorhaus, 1948, USA) and CALL NORTHSIDE 777 (d. Henry Hathaway, 1948, USA)

Forum: Music Box Theater   Format: 35mm

Observations: It's a double-bill at Noir City: a sold-out program (about 700 seats!) for a presentation of two 1948 features. THE SPIRITUALIST is an Eagle-Lion programmer livened by cameraman John Alton's marvelous technique. CALL NORTHSIDE 777 is (to me) a classic of the form: a reporter becomes emmeshed in a 15-year-old murder, struggling to free a wrongly-convicted man. There's a lot of fine location shooting in Chicago and Statesville Prison, and a fantastic James Stewart performance that prefigures his great 1950s roles with Anthony Mann and Alfred Hitchcock. Eddie Muller gave a concise and enlightening to each film.

Hello out there! Not entirely sure what I’m doing but let’s have fun anyway.

Since it’s Noirvember and I recently subscribed to the Criterion Channel, I’ve been catching up on some classic noirs that I haven’t seen before. There’s also some great ones on HBO Max and other streamers.

Call Northside 777 (1948) stars James Stewart as a reporter in Chicago reluctantly trying to free an innocent man from prison. Doesn’t help that the guy was convicted of killing a cop. Basically everyone is against Stewart finding the truth. Lots of creepy, dark corridors & alleyways. The scene towards the end when Stewart confronts a witness is pretty intense. Based on a true story.

This Gun For Hire (1942) stars Alan Ladd as the killer in the title. He gets hired for a job, gets set up by his shady spy bosses & wants revenge before the cops catch him. Veronica Lake is the cool nightclub singer (with the pretty awesome magic act) that’s caught in the middle. She’s dating the lead cop (Robert Preston) & is hired to infiltrate the spy baddies. Eventually she ends up on the run with Ladd. Hey, he likes cats & had a crap childhood - he can’t be all bad, right?
