The Colossus of New York theatrical trailer

In The Unknown Terror, a millionaire (John Howard) leads a remote jungle expedition to find the legendary “Cave of the Dead” where his wife’s (Mala Powers) brother had disappeared long ago. Instead, they stumble upon a mad doctor who has created a horde of foam-spewing, fungus-covered monster-men. In The Colossus of New York, when a brilliant scientist (Ross Martin) is accidentally killed, his preserved brain is transferred to the body of a giant robot so that it can continue to serve mankind. But when it gains awareness of its own hideousness, this steel colossus embarks on a rampage of destruction. In Destination Inner Space, when an object of unknown origin is detected in the area of an underwater laboratory, scientists investigate and come face to face with the object—an extraterrestrial saucer! They board the craft and discover a mysterious cylinder, which they take back to the lab for closer inspection. It is then that events take a monstrous turn!

NOIR CITY returns for its sixth year to Detroit’s historic Redford Theatre this weekend, September 22 - 24 with a 75th-anniversary focus on films from 1948. Film Noir Foundation president Eddie Muller will host all eight screenings, as well as sign copies of his latest book "Eddie Muller’s Noir Bar: Cocktails Inspired by the World of Film Noir" at 7:00 p.m. tonight.

Two 35mm presentations staring Claire Tevor open the festival screenings at 8:00 p.m. tonight--John Huston’s "Key Largo" featuring an all-star cast—Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, and Edward G. Robinson—is paired with Anthony Mann’s beautiful-but-gritty "Raw Deal".

Festival schedule, individual tickets for double features, and passes are available at https://redfordtheatre.com/events/

Friday, September 22 – 8 p.m. KEY LARGO Originally released July 16, 1948 Screenplay by Richard Brooks and John Huston, based on the play by Maxwell Anderson Produced by Jerry Wald Directed by John Huston The final pairing of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall is a spine-tingling tale of a WWII veteran (Bogart) running up against a gangster (Edward G. Robinson) who’s holding the staff and guests of a coastal hotel hostage as a hurricane bears down on them. Bacall plays the daughter of proprietor Lionel Barrymore, and noir’s grandest dame, Claire Trevor, is Gaye Dawn, a broken-down chanteuse who’s Eddie G.’s booze-sodden moll. Trevor won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar® for her memorable performance. John Huston’s direction oozes discomfort in every frame, from the claustrophobic staging to the sweat-drenched close-ups of henchmen. So much time is spent on the threat of violence that when things finally do turn bloody in the final act, the impact is devastating. RAW DEAL Originally released May 26, 1948 Screenplay by John C. Higgins and Leopold Atlas, based on the story Corkscrew Alley by Arnold Armstrong and Audrey Ashley Produced by Edward Small Directed by Anthony Mann Social worker Marsha Hunt and gangster’s moll Claire Trevor duke it out for the soul of homme fatal Dennis O’Keefe in this rambunctious display of quintessential noir pulp. O’Keefe busts out of the slammer determined to get even with shyster gang-boss Raymond Burr, who wants O’Keefe dead before he reaches his San Francisco hideout. Anthony Mann made his bones with the gritty, documentary-style T-Men the year before, but here he flips the script and treats fans to a surreal fantasia of violence and vengeance. Everything in the film is slightly off-kilter, from the theremin-infused score to the nervy, dejected narration by Trevor. Stunning images by legendary cinematographer John Alton make this arguably the most visually stylish noir of them all. As Eddie likes to say, it’s “Pure Pulp for Noir People.”

Step-siblings? Forget The Choice and The Watcher, maybe Ted’s Richmond experience will bring John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell to his doorstep. “S’that mean I can have the biscuits?” “I hope so, pal,” says Ted, “but it might be best to wait for Roy’s stamp of approval.” “Aw.” Jamie slumps all the way onto the ground, legs sprawled out in a wide V that Ted wishes to God he still had the hip flexibility for. Lucky squirt. “Mr. Ted Lasso sir?” “Just Ted’s fine, kiddo, but what’s up?” “You’ve gotta hairy worm on your face,” says Jamie with gravity. “S’it dead?”

Robinson Crusoe on Mars (Byron Haskin, 1964) Cast: Paul Mantell, Victor Lundin, Adam West. Screenplay: Ib Melchior, John C. Higgins, based on a story by Daniel Defoe. Cinematography: Winton C. Hoch. Art direction: Arthur Lonergan, Hal Pereira. Film editing: Terry O. Morse. Music: Van Cleave. The average third-grader today can spot the scientific inaccuracies of Robinson Crusoe on Mars. Who doesn't cringe when Christopher Draper (Paul Mantell) tries to start a fire by feeding the flames with the oxygen from his supply tank, an attempt most likely to send him up in a large fireball? The special effects, too, are primitive: The attacking spaceships are two-dimensional, paintings on a black backdrop. But does any of this really matter? With older films, even science fiction, datedness often counts for less than style and substance. Byron Haskin's movie has both, largely because it's derived from a classic source, Daniel Defoe's 1719 tale of solitude and companionship. It plays on the primal fear of loneliness that makes solitary confinement the worst of punishments and is the backbone of many classic adventure stories, including such other great sci-fi films as 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968) and The Martian (Ridley Scott, 2015). Even though Draper has a companion on Mars, a small monkey, his inability to converse with another human drives him near to madness -- a hallucination of his dead companion, Col. McReady (Adam West) -- before he finally encounters his Friday (Victor Lundin). Even then the breakthrough is slow to come: The alien humanoid at first refuses to speak, causing Draper to fume that he's "an idiot" and "retarded." But finally the alien trusts Draper enough to speak and the rapport blooms into a kind of interplanetary bromance as they learn each other's language and culture. (The master-servant Crusoe-Friday relationship remains, however: Draper expects his Friday to learn English first. Colonialism dies hard.) So forget everything we've learned from the various NASA probes about Martian terrain -- the absence of flaming volcanoes or of anything resembling "canals," let alone abundance of water and subaqueous plant life -- and accept the movie's vision for what it is: more a fable about long-ingrained human character than about what the future may be like. Byron Haskin's direction keeps the action crisp and steady, and while the studio sets have a certain cheesy quality, the footage shot at Death Valley's Zabriskie Point is often strikingly real.

NOIR CITY 20 at Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre Day 8: RAW DEAL (7:30) & HE WALKED BY NIGHT (9:15). Intros by Eddie Muller. Full festival details and tickets available at www.NoirCity.com

DOUBLE FEATURE

7:30 PM

RAW DEAL

Social worker Marsha Hunt and gangster's moll Claire Trevor duke it out for the soul of homme fatal Dennis O'Keefe in this rambunctious display of quintessential noir pulp. O'Keefe busts out of the slammer determined to get even with shyster gang-boss Raymond Burr, who wants O'Keefe dead before he reaches his San Francisco hideout. Stunning images by legendary cinematographer John Alton make this arguably the most visually stylish noir of them all. As Eddie likes to say, it's "Pure Pulp for Noir People."

Originally released May 26, 1948. Eagle-Lion Films, 79 minutes. Screenplay by John C. Higgins and Leopold Atlas, based on the story "Corkscrew Alley" by Arnold Armstrong and Audrey Ashley. Produced by Edward Small. Directed by Anthony Mann.

9:15 PM

HE WALKED BY NIGHT

In this landmark noir, a psychotic loner (Richard Basehart) uses his genius for electronics to commit robberies while evading the police. When he graduates to murder, L.A.'s finest, including Scott Brady and methodical Jack Webb (who was immediately inspired to create Dragnet), pull out a few modern manhunting techniques of their own. The desperate hunt tracks the killer through—and beneath—cityscapes stunningly photographed by the great John Alton. Don't miss this classic in all its 35mm glory!

Originally released November 24, 1948. Eagle­Lion Films, 79 minutes. Screenplay by John C. Higgins, from a story by Crane Wilbur. Produced by Bryan Foy and Robert Kane. Directed by Alfred Werker and Anthony Mann.
