Nora Prentiss

1947, Warner Bros. [Park Circus]. 111 min. Dir. Vincent Sherman

A neglected classic! Richard Talbot (Kent Smith) is the squarest doctor you’ll ever meet, but he’s so taken by San Francisco nightclub singer Nora Prentiss (Ann Sheridan) that he decides to throw his life away in the hopes of winning her over. San Francisco location shooting is an added bonus!

9:15 pm

The Crimson Canary

1945, Universal Pictures. 64 min. Dir. John Hoffman

A dead singer, a desperate fiancée, and a detective who loves jazz comprise the charming B-movie about a trumpet player who gets locked up after the lead singer of his band gets whacked. The mystery is engaging, but the musical performances by jazz luminaries like Coleman Hawkins and Josh White really push it over the top.
