Mildred Piercer Mildred Pierce More...
Michael Curtiz, USA 1945, 35mm & DV. PG low level violence
Joan Crawford won her only Oscar for the title role, as a single mother who toils her way from waitress to successful businesswoman to provide for her spoilt and ungrateful daughter. Director Michael Curtiz followed up the success of Casablanca with this melodramatic noir adaptation of James M Cain’s notoriously racy novel.
 
The Postman Always Rings Twice The Postman Always Rings Twice More...
Tay Garnett, USA 1946, 35mm & DV. PG adult themes
Another classic James M Cain adaptation. “More film blanc than noir, as screencombusting lovers John Garfield and Lana Turner – dressed more for Park Avenue than the greasy spoon she slings hash in – plot to do away with her nice but old husband.” – Film Forum
 
The Asphalt Jungle The Asphalt Jungle More...
John Huston, USA 1950, 35mm. PG low level violence
The big daddy of big caper movies, this brilliant, chilling thriller revolves around a million-dollar jewel heist. "A taut, unsentimental study in character and relative morality… It has spawned countless imitations, few of which even remotely approach the intelligence and detail of the original.” – Time Out
