The Best of Noir Canon

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Howard Hawks’ perverse adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s novel stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in a detective story so convoluted that even Chandler couldn’t figure it out. With dialogue like this, you won’t care about the plot either. A joy from start to finish. This, more than any other film, will show you why Bogie and Bacall are eternal icons of cool. In 35mm.
