1950s Film Noir in 3-D!

I, THE JURY

USA, 1953, Harry Essex

We return to the Capitol Theatre (W. 65th & Detroit Ave.) for the first time in four years to present a new restoration of perhaps the only classic film noir shot in 3-D! I, the Jury marked the screen debut of Mickey Spillane’s brutal private eye Mike Hammer, who here spends the Christmas holiday tracking down the mysterious killer of his best friend. Hammer’s relentless pursuit takes him into the rarefied worlds of art collecting and psychoanalysis, and a series of seductive dames becomes the trail of bread crumbs leading him to his quarry. I, the Jury was photographed by the great noir cinematographer John Alton, and includes some stunning shots inside L.A.’s iconic Bradbury Building (also featured in Blade Runner). “[There’s] nary a ‘politically correct’ moment in the film’s 87 minutes.” –Hal Erickson, AllMovie. With Biff Elliot, Preston Foster, and Peggie Castle. Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 87 min. Shows at the Capitol Theatre, 1390 W. 65th St. at Detroit Ave. Special admission (includes 3-D glasses) $14; Cinematheque members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $11. Advance tickets can be purchased only at clevelandcinemas.com. No Cinematheque passes or Cleveland Cinemas passes or discounts. Special thanks to Jon Forman and Sean Denny. I, the Jury has been restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive in conjunction with PKL Pictures Limited.
