ABOUT THE EVENT: 2:00pm | Introduction 2:10pm | UNDER THE GUN 3:33pm | Intermission 3:43pm | NEW YORK CONFIDENTIAL Start times are approximate. ABOUT THE FILMS: UNDER THE GUN, Dir. Ted Tetzlaff, 83 Min, Universal, USA Originally released January 26, 1951 Sleek gangster Richard Conte gets pinched and is sentenced to hard time in a nightmarish Florida prison farm—where inmates are “under the gun” of sadistic guard Royal Dano, whose trustees earn their paroles by killing any cons who try to escape. Will Conte serve out his time obediently, as recommended by sage older con Sam Jaffe? Doubtful. Also starring film noir favorite Audrey Totter — with dark hair! Also featuring John McIntire and Sheppard Strudwick. This noir precursor to COOL HAND LUKE is not currently available on Blu-ray or DVD! FORMAT: 35mm NEW YORK CONFIDENTIAL, Dir. Russell Rouse, 88 Min, Kit Parker Films, USA Originally released February 18, 1955 Crime syndicate boss Nick Lupo (Broderick Crawford) wheels and deals while mentoring an ominous torpedo (Richard Conte), coping with a gold-digging mistress (Marilyn Maxwell), and managing a rebellious daughter (Anne Bancroft). Written, produced, and directed by the team of Clarence Greene and Russell Rouse (D.O.A, IMPACT, THE WELL, WICKED WOMAN) this dramatic “syndicate noir” was inspired by both the 1950s Kefauver organized crime hearings and the notorious Apalachin conference of underworld kingpins. With J. Carrol Naish, Onslow Stevens, Barry Kelley and Mike Mazurki. FORMAT: 35mm Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive
