WHIPLASH

1948, Warner Bros., 91 min, USA, Dir: Lewis Seiler

Mix OUT OF THE PAST with BODY AND SOUL and what do you get? An artist who falls for a mystery woman, pursues her to the Big Apple, and ends up fighting for the middleweight championship! Pugnacious Dane Clark is artist/boxer Mike Angelo (get it?), Alexis Smith is his sexy siren, Eve Arden the sassy girlfriend, Douglas Kennedy the scar-faced gunsel and, best of all, Zachary Scott is a sadistic, wheelchair-bound fight manager! "Whiplash" is what you'll get keeping up with the careening plot, which climaxes in a smashing finale! Not on DVD!

New Print!

THE HUNTED

1948, Allied Artists [Warner Bros.], 88 min, USA, Dir: Jack Bernhard

Steve Fisher’s original screenplay for this bargain-basement B offers a clever twist on the typical femme fatale. Laura Mead (Belita) has served her time for robbery and still claims her innocence. She returns to the city where her former cop lover (Preston Foster) sent her up. Was she guilty - or was he just jealous? Is she back for a fresh start - or revenge? A strange, hypnotic noir from Poverty Row director Jack Bernhard (DECOY). Not on DVD!
