About this Event
Each November, movie fans celebrate the hallmark antiheroes, femme fatales, moral complexities, and the stunning black & white cinematography of film noir. Free popcorn will be served, and a discussion will follow each screening.
In Pickup on South Street (Samuel Fuller, 1953, 80 minutes), a pickpocket unwittingly steals top-secret microfilm from a courier on a New York subway, making himself the prime target of both a Communist spy ring and government agents.
Written and directed by Samuel Fuller with his signature punchy, tabloid-fast style, the fiilm sidelines grand Cold War politics to focus on the raw survival, moral codes, and fierce humanity of New York City street life. Starring Richard Widmark at his rawest and feauring an Oscar nominated support role by Thelma Ritter.
