Tonight! January 17, 2013. Eddie Muller of the Film Noir Foundation brings "A Night in Noir City" to Turner Classic Movies. If you can't make it to San Francisco for the festival this time, you can enjoy this four movie marathon in your own home.
The lineup includes Cry Danger, 99 River Street, Tomorrow is Another Day, and The Breaking Point. You can read more about Noir City Night and find the the schedule at Turner Classic Movies. Times appear to be eastern, so for those of us on the West Coast, the show starts at five.
If you are looking for old time radio actors within these noirs, you can find William Conrad, Joan Banks, and Hy Averback in Cry Danger. 99 River Street has Peter Leeds and Ian Wolfe in small roles, but it also has Vivi Janiss and Helen Kleeb in uncredited bit parts. Lurene Tuttle has a role in Tomorrow is Another Day and The Breaking Point has Norman Field--who appears in an uncredited role as a dock attendant. Spot him if you can!
(FYI--You can also catch Eddie Muller's commentaries as a feature on many classic noir dvds.)
So, get your popcorn, grab your bourbon and enjoy!
