Went to a lot of Grateful Dead concerts. Now I watch a lot of film noir.
We were proud to restore this film after programming it at a NOIR CITY festival and only being able to get a 16mm which we had to borrow from a private collector.
#FilmNoir Cry Danger (1951)
Todayβs #SUTS on @tcmtv.bsky.social features Glenn Ford bringing βThe Big Heatβ from 1953. Heβs a cop whose wife is killed in a car bombing intended for him.
