Our screening on Monday 2 June will be introduced by John Wischmeyer (City Lit).
Arguably the definitive film noir, and featuring Robert Mitchum at his best. He plays an ex-private eye trying to escape his past until former girlfriend Kathie (Jane Greer) and gangster Whit (Kirk Douglas) drag him into a world of double-crossing, revenge and murder. First-rate performances, hypnotic cinematography, and an intricate script make this a classic.
