SO DARK THE NIGHT
In the first half of this double-bill tribute to director Joseph H. Lewis (“Gun Crazy,” “The Big Combo”), a noted Parisian detective on vacation becomes involved in the investigation of a string of local murders. Memorable touches on a small scale highlight this twisted tale of passion under darkly sunny French skies. Starring Steven Geray, Micheline Cheirel and Eugene Borden. Directed by Joseph H. Lewis. 71 mins. B&W. 35mm studio archive print. 1946. Shows at 8:00 ONLY!

MY NAME IS JULIA ROSS
After toiling for a number of years on poverty row in a succession of B westerns, East Side Kids comedies and Bela Lugosi horror films, Lewis landed at Columbia and delivered this breakthrough B classic of gothic noir right out of the gate. A young woman takes a position in a shuddery seaside mansion only to awaken the following morning to an unspeakable nightmare! Starring Nina Foch, George Macready and Dame May Whitty. Written by Muriel and Roy Bolton. Directed by Joseph H. Lewis. 65 mins. B&W. 35mm studio archive print. 1945. Shows at 6:40 and 9:30
