DETOUR
7:00 PM
Ann Savage’s ferocious performance as “Vera” is at the black heart of this classic, often cited as the ultimate in noir fatalism. Tom Neal plays Al Roberts who decides to hitchhike cross-country to reunite with his estranged girlfriend. Things go from bad to worse once vixenish vagabond Vera gets her hooks into him. Don’t miss a chance to see this legendary noir on the big screen! Presented digitally.
1945, PRC [Criterion]. 66 min. Dir. Edgar G. Ulmer
MY TRUE STORY
8:30 PM
Mickey Rooney directed this unusual drama, produced in association with My True Story magazine. Helen Walker (Nightmare Alley) gives a fantastic performance as an ex-con who gets railroaded into working with a gang of thieves who are after an unusual payoff—a supply of myrrh, the secret ingredient used in “Temptation” perfume. A true rarity! Presented in 35mm.
1951, Columbia [Sony]. 67 min. Dir. Mickey Rooney
