USA, 1950, Elia Kazan
Here’s a film noir we can relate to. A New Orleans health official (Richard Widmark) and the local police frantically try to track down and capture two lowlifes (Jack Palance, Zero Mostel) who murdered an illegal alien. Time is of the essence because, in addition to being homicidal killers, they might be carrying the plague! Contract tracing was never so exciting… DCP. 93 min. Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8. No passes or twofers.
