Anthony Mann Double Feature: T-MEN, 1947 STRANGE IMPERSONATION, 1944 April 25, 2012

Wednesday, April 25 – 7:30 PM
Anthony Mann Double Feature: T-MEN, 1947, 92 min. Director Anthony Mann and DP John Alton - king of chiaroscuro - pull out all the stops in relating the intensely exciting and shockingly brutal tale of Treasury agents, led by the redoubtable Dennis O’Keefe, going undercover to infiltrate a cadre of counterfeiters. Great character bits from Charles McGraw and Wallace Ford in a vivid script by crime scribe John C. Higgins. One of the most artfully arresting visual spectacles of the original film noir era! [35mm]
Trailer
STRANGE IMPERSONATION, 1944, Films Around the World, Inc., 68 min. This kooky and claustrophobic crime/sci-fi/soap opera hybrid crams about three movies’ worth of plot into its brief running time: chemical experiments, insurance scams, romantic triangles, plastic surgery - it’s a bizarre and berserk funhouse ride, featuring Brenda Marshall, William Gargan and sexy Hillary Brooke. One of director Mann’s more stylish, inventive (and nutty) B’s, paving the way for his ascension to A-list assignments and eventual auteur status. [35mm]
