Closing time for #NoirCity Chicago, but there’s still two great films in tonight’s set. First, Patrick McGoohan is a jealous, scheming drummer in ALL NIGHT LONG. Then, Sammy Davis Jr. is a brilliant but self-destructive trumpeter in A MAN CALLED ADAM. Get to the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social!

On day 6 of #NoirCity Chicago the jazz music continues late into the night. Dexter Gordon stars as a New York musician who travels to Paris to improve his life in ROUND MIDNIGHT. Then, the lead singer of a jazz band is murdered in THE CRIMSON CANARY. See you at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social!
This year’s #NoirCityChicago theme is “Face the Music” and films for Day 6 underscore what jazz musicians do when confronting messy situations. ROUND MIDNIGHT (1986) has saxophonist Dexter Gordon in his twilight years with still much to say. @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social @noirfoundation.bsky.social
