THE FILM BUFFET- A Feast for Your Eyes January 7, 2008

Toronto Film Society presents part 4 of 7 double bills at Monday Nights with the Stars. Tonight we present FILM NOIR
WOMAN ON THE RUN 1950 dir. Norman Foster w. Ann Sheridan, Dennis O'Keefe, Robert Keith
A man goes into hiding after being the only witness to a gangland murder. The police are on his tail, his wife thinks he's running from her, the reporter may or may not be an ally, and the murderer is tracking them all. Sharp, tart dialogue and great location filming in San Francisco. Hitchcock channeled the fairground ending a year later for Strangers on a Train.
BACKFIRE 1950 dir. Vincent Sherman w. Virginia Mayo, Edmond O'Brien
Things are rarely what they first seem to be. That's the premise for this tense thriller of a recuperating vet looking for his vanished friend through the dark underbelly of postwar LA. Guaranteed to keep you guessing until the end.
