Join us in the lobby beforehand for a glass of Pinot Noir and Dark Chocolate.
In 1940s Brighton, England, the vicious criminal Pinkie Brown (Richard Attenborough) is the leader of his small-time gang. After Brown murders a rival, he finds an alibi through a waitress, Rose (Carol Marsh), whom he promises to marry in return for her corroboration. Despite the police ruling it a suicide, Ida Arnold (Hermione Baddeley), a woman who was with Brown’s victim before the murder, continues with her own investigation. Meanwhile, Brown is rapidly losing his grip on the situation.
Paul Karasik has selected these films as prime examples of Must-See Film Noir. Paul is an Eisner Award-winning cartoonist whose work has appeared in the New Yorker and whose graphic novels have been translated worldwide.
