Palm Springs’ Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival Celebrating 25th Anniversary With a Cinematic Crime Wave


One of southern California's signature noir festivals, the Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival, is returning to Palm Springs with a weekend of classics.

It was Andre De Toth’s last Western, with Robert Ryan, Tina Louise, Nehemiah Persoff, Burl Ives and a really strong cast, including Mike McGreevey, who’s been in the business for over 60 years, who started out as a child actor with Jane Powell and Alan Ladd and all of these people. On the afternoon of the final day, Sunday, Rode has programmed “the only Budd Boetticher film with a female protagonist (Nina Foch), ‘Escape in the Fog,’ which runs a very trim 65 minutes, and I’m going to have Kirk Ellis there. But while the inclusion of multiple 35 prints was once a selling point for the Arthur Lyons Festival, as it also was for Noir City, this year Rode says only a couple of the selected films — including “Escape in the Fog” — will be in 35.
