The Noir film fest at the Roxie has been extended an additional week. It appears that the show has been quite a success. This is a great opportunity to catch some of the shows you've missed, or to re-watch some of them. Since many of these films are rare, this may be your last chance. See the Roxie's website for their extended schedule.
And the Arthur Lyon's Film Noir Festival is almost upon us. It runs from May 28th to May 31st. Some of the films being shown are: Armored Car Robbery (1950), Woman on the Run (1950), The Garment Jungle (1975), Criss Cross (1949) and others.
The festival will also show The Bad Seed (1956). Does that qualify as noir? The short answer is no. The longer answer is also no. The Bad Seed was a horror/thriller film based upon William March's 1954 novel of the same name. The novel was first adapted for the stage and later for film. More on this later ...

ReplyDeleteSo I missed some really great shows in May, when is my chance to make up for past misdeeds?
my wife and i would like to spend a nice summer night in SF with a dark film.
how great would it be to see Noir on an outdoor screen someplace in SF? GG Park perhaps?
Thanks for the blog! very informative.

Good question. I would like to arrange some screenings in San Francisco, and many people have privately asked me whether there will be any screenings this summer. Unfortunately, due to a circumstance I cannot control, it may be difficult to schedule something in the near future. In the meantime, continue to check this blog, and if anyone has any questions/suggestions regarding future screenings, this blog is the best way to contact me. Otherwise, feel free to email. --Robert
