I WAKE UP DREAMING: The Haunted World of the B Film Noir
Monday May 18
Double Feature! 2 films. 1 low price.

THE SPECTER OF THE ROSE
A fascinating foray into the darkly demented world of dancers, in which at least one of whom might (or might not) be a psychotic murderer! Very strange, this is a noir of an entirely different stripe; all on a B budget! Excellent cinematography by Lee Garmes. Starring Judith Anderson, Michael Chekhov, Ivan Kirov, Lionel Stander. Written and directed by Ben Hecht. 90 mins. 1946. Showtime: 8:00.

THE MADONNA’S SECRET
The masterful John Alton provides some astonishing camerawork for this strangely hypnotic noir mystery about a famous painter who can’t seem to get the image of his dead fiancée out of his mind. When his models, one by one, start turning up dead, he becomes Prime Suspect #1. Starring Frances Lederer, Gail Patrick, Ann Rutherford, Linda Stirling. Directed by William Thiele. 79 mins. 1946. Showtimes: 6:25 & 9:45.
