CRY TOUGH

1959, United Artists [MGM Repertory], 83 min, USA, Dir: Paul Stanley

This late entry in the noir cycle, based on Irving Shulman’s popular novel, explores social realism in the barrio and features a stunning performance by John Saxon as a Puerto Rican ex-con pulled every which way by familial pressures, a love affair (with beautiful co-star Linda Cristal) and the lure of his former gang. Not on DVD!

DOWN THREE DARK STREETS

1954, United Artists [MGM Repertory], 85 min, USA, Dir: Arnold Laven

Seeking to solve the murder of a colleague, FBI agent John Ripley (Broderick Crawford) doggedly pursues the late agent’s last three cases, hoping to uncover the killer. He discovers a trifecta of dames (Ruth Roman, Martha Hyer, Marisa Pavan) entangled in extortion and murder. Based on a trio of true FBI cases as adapted by The Gordons, the film benefits from fantastic Los Angeles location work, including one of the earliest (and best) uses of the famed Hollywood sign. Not on DVD!

Screening formats: 35mm
