A bank employee (Jorge Salcedo) uses a loophole in Argentine
law to concoct the perfect crime, planning to reap the rewards
of his embezzlement after serving six years in prison. A vivid
cross between THE NAKED CITY and BRUTE FORCE, and
an evocative look at mid-20th century Buenos Aires. (Note

DEATH OF A CYCLIST [Muerte de un ciclista]
Sun, Oct 19, 9:00; Thu, Oct 23, 5:00
When this film received the International Critics Award at
Cannes, director Juan Antonio Bardem was unable to accept
the award, as he was serving one of several prison sentences
meted out by Francisco Franco's regime. His scathing social
criticism contrasts an affluent, adulterous couple with the poor
bicyclist they strike with their car. Realizing that the cyclist is badly
injured, they leave him to die rather than risk revealing their affair.
Upon their return to Madrid, guilt grabs them with more tragic
consequences.
DIR/SCR Juan Antonio Bardem, from the story by Luis Fernando de Igoa; PROD
Manuel J. Goyanes. Spain/Italy, 1955, b&w, 88 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. NOT RATED

Thu, Oct 23, 7:00
An alcoholic doctor and a tubercular gangster forge an

life, but the return of a criminal comrade sparks a tragic turn.
Toshirô Mifune explodes off the screen in his first film for Akira
Kurosawa. Costarring Takashi Shimura. (Note courtesy of Noir
City.) "In DRUNKEN ANGEL, Kurosawa devised a style that
somehow combined the formal restraint of traditional Japanese
cinema with the irreverence and nervous energy of Hollywood
movies: it looked entirely new, like nothing else Eastern or
Western." –Terrence Rafferty, The New York Times.
DIR/SCR Akira
Kurosawa; SCR Keinosuke Uekusa; PROD Sôjirô Motoki. Japan, 1948, b&w, 98 min. In Japanese

Sat, Oct 25, 3:00; Wed, Oct 29, 7:00
Jenny Lamour (Suzy Delair), a flighty and ambitious showgirl,
is the prime suspect in the death of an elderly showbiz patron.

possible suspect in the bustling theatre. An exceptional policier,
rich with colorful characters, from suspense master Henri-
Georges Clouzot. (Note courtesy of Noir City.)
