d. Curtis Bernhardt, Warner Bros., 1945, 86 min.
One of Humphrey Bogart’s most rarely screened films features the legendary actor playing a scheming wife-killer (Rose Hobart stands in for Bogart's real-life ball-and-chain, Mayo Methot) who gets into a cat-and-mouse game with family friend Sidney Greenstreet — a psychiatrist with an expertise in the workings of the criminal mind. Director Robert Siodmak wrote the original story, “The Pentagram,” which he originally intended to direct. 7:00
d. Robert Siodmak, Universal,
1944, 85 min.
Purists might argue that the Edwardian setting isn't noir. Listen: whenever a lovelorn sap murders his wife to pursue a feckless young filly—that's noir, whatever era provides the backdrop. Charles Laughton is trapped in the loveless marriage, and gorgeous Ella Raines looks like his ticket out. This unjustly overlooked suspense classic is comparable to the best of Hitchcock. 9:00 |

d. Hubert Cornfield, 20th Century-Fox, 1960, 80 min.
This sensational, brain-teasing murder yarn (based on the novel "All the Way" by Charles Williams) features noir stalwart Edmond O’Brien as an anonymous chump hired by scheming secretary Laraine Day to kill her boss/lover — and assume his identity at a Mexican fishing resort. The appearance of sexy songbird Julie London complicates matters, of course. Featuring breathtaking black-and-white Cinemascope cinematography by Ernest Haller. 1:00, 4:10, 7:30 |

d. Robert Florey, Columbia, 1941, 69 min.
Peter Lorre stars as an immigrant watchmaker, horribly disfigured in a fire, whose despair and alienation lead him into a life of crime. A friendship with a young blind woman (Evelyn Keyes) offers him a shot at love and redemption. But … this is a noir film festival. Screenplay by Paul Jarrico. 2:40, 5:45, 9:00 |

d. Jean Negulesco, 20th Century-Fox, 1948, 95 min.
A star-powered face-off between two film noir icons: sassy Ida Lupino and psychotic Richard Widmark. Sparks fly when Ida takes a job crooning in Widmark’s rural roadhouse, but when she throws him over for his boyhood chum (Cornel Wilde) the joint really starts jumping. 3:00, 7:00 |

d. Jules Dassin, 20th Century-Fox, 1950, 96 min.
We close out Noir City 6 with a stunning print of the most baroque and bleak film noir of them all. The greatness of this film — besides Richard Widmark's devastating portrayal of the maniacal and pathetic Harry Fabian — is its stubborn refusal to allow even the tiniest ray of light into Harry's headlong descent in hell. Featuring Gene Tierney, Googie Withers, Herbert Lom, Francis X. Sullivan — and perhaps the ultimate film noir finale. 1:00, 5:00, 9:10 |
