Film Noir Fest in Palm Springs Will Bring in Guillermo Del Toro to Show New B&W Cut of ‘Nightmare Alley,’ Along With ’40s Noirs Not Screened in Decades
The Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival in Palm Springs will host Guillermo Del Toro showing an expanded B&W 'Nightmare Alley,' along with '40s classics.
An example of that would be “Act of Violence,” the Fred Zinneman film that shows Sunday afternoon; that one has shown more than once at Noir City, the festival that he and Eddie Muller co-host at the American Cinematheque in Hollywood, but it will finally be unspooling in the desert this year. In a rare example of that festival screening the most obvious classics, they put up a double-bill of “Out of the Past” and Stanley Kubruck’s “The Killing,” hosted by Muller and Rode, who each asked for a show of hands of who hadn’t seen the film in question before. Friday, May 9 • 10 a.m.: “Swell Guy”(1946) with Sonny Tufts, Ann Blyth, Ruth Warwick• 1 p.m.: “Johnny O’Clock”(1947) with Dick Powell, Evelyn Keyes, Lee J. Cobb [preceded by Eddie Muller book signing]• 4 p.m.: “Lust for Gold”(1949) with Ida Lupino, Glenn Ford• 7:30 p.m.: “Paid in Full”(1950) with Robert Cummings, Lizabeth Scott, Eve Arden
