    extravaganza featuring San Francisco treats, a Dashiell Hammett marathon, by popular demand encore screenings, surprises galore, and super special guest star ANGIE DICKINSON! Among the rarities being presented this year: a brand new 35mm print of 1949s The Great Gatsby, starring Alan Ladd as F. Scott Fitzgeralds legendary lovelorn hero. The film has been buried for decades, but Mullers perseverance persuaded Universal Pictures to strike a preservation print for NOIR CITY. Join us January 25February 3, 2013 for what promises to be the darkest and most delirious incarnation yet of San Franciscos most popular classic film festival: NOIR CITY!

    1947, Warner Bros. 106 min.

    We kick off this years festival with Bogart & Bacalls darkest duet, a bizarre ramble through nocturnal 1940s San Francisco, as an escaped con pursues the real culprit in his wifes murder. Startling use of the subjective-eye camera focuses on the mid-20th century city in all its noir glory. A 10th anniversary encore of NOIR CITYs inaugural Opening Night film. Screenplay and direction by Delmer Daves, based on the novel by David Goodis.

    This hard-hitting remake of Mark Hellingers 1946 noir classic was intended as the first made for TV feature film, until network execs balked at the films amorality and casual brutality.

The blood-spattered hunt leads through femme fatale Angie Dickinson to Ronald Reagan! Screenplay by Gene L. Coon, based on the Hemingway short story. Directed by Don Siegel.

    Twenty years after steaming up the screen in Gilda, Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth were reunited, poignantly, in this 60s-style homage to old-school film noir. Director Burt Kennedy gives a hard, jazzy edge to the proceedings, winking toward the films 1940s roots, while giving the full 60s-style sex-bomb treatment to costar Elke Sommer. Screenplay by Walter Bernstein, from the novel by Lionel White.

    The most celebrated movie mystery of all time is, as a bonus, one of the most elegantly perverse films ever produced. Casparys story, about a detective (Dana Andrews) who falls in love with a murder victim (Gene Tierney), becomes a lustrous banquet of great performances, direction, Oscar-winning cinematography, and one unforgettable theme song. Utterly mesmerizing. Screenplay by Jay Dratler, based on the Vera Caspary novel. Directed by Otto Preminger.

    Rita Hayworth created her Hollywood Love Goddess legend in this tailor-made romantic drama, first of several sex-charged pairings with costar Glenn Ford. The films amazing sexual symbolism slipped past the censors (and most viewers) at the time; today the film is regarded as one of the greatest examples of a director working around the Production Code. Screenplay by Marion Parsonnet; adaptation by Jo Eisinger; story by E.A. Ellington. Directed by Charles Vidor.

    Casparys much-anticipated follow-up to Laura is hardly known, as the authors bitterness toward Hollywood led her to make the film in England. Margaret Lockwood, queen of British femme fatales, stars as a beguiling woman whom men will literally die for. The rare 35mm print of this neglected gem comes courtesy of the British Film Institute. Screenplay by Vera Caspary, Herbert Victor, Isadore Goldsmith. Directed by Lance Comfort.*
