Black & White; Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; English Subtitles Humphrey Bogart stars as Rip Murdock, a World War II veteran ensnared in a web of crime and conspiracy when his best friend, Johnny Drake (William Prince), disappears en route to Washington, D.C., to receive a war medal. Murdock follows the trail to Drake's hometown in the Deep South, where he finds his friend's body burned beyond recognition at the local morgue. Murdock, determined to find the murderer, begins his own investigation but soon falls for Drake's ex-girlfriend, femme fatale Cory Chandler (Lizabeth Scott). When Murdock finds his first lead dead in his own hotel room, he begins to suspect that Chandler may be a lot more than just a local singer. Directed by acclaimed veteran John Cromwell (SO ENDS OUR NIGHT, ABE LINCOLN IN ILLINOIS), DEAD RECKONING provides sharp and merciless suspense. The dark, winding plot twists in this classic film noir are held together and energized throughout by Bogart's commanding, inimitable screen presence and his paradoxically expressive, world-weary deadpan. Dead Reckoning Reviews: "...Bogart's sardonic, hypercharged performance holds matters together..."

Beginning with a documentary style that immediately hooks the viewer, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, based on the Harry Bates short story "Farewell to the Master," becomes as much a human interest story as it does a sci-fi B-movie classic. The film soberly depicts the arrival of an alien dignitary, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), who has come to earth with his deadly robot, Gort (Lock Martin), to deliver the message that earthlings must stop warring among themselves--or else. After being shot at by ignorant, panicky military guards, Klaatu is brought to a Washington, D.C., hospital, where he begs a sympathetic but frank Major White (Robert Osterloh) to gather all the world's leaders so he can tell them more specifically what he has come 250 million miles to warn them about. Losing patience, Klaatu slips into the human world, adapting a false identity and living at a boarding house where he meets a smart woman with a conscience, Helen Benson (Patricia Neal), and her inquisitive son, Bobby (Billy Gray). Both mother and son soon find themselves embroiled in the complex mystery of Klaatu, his message, and the government's witch hunt for the alien. Made during ...

Siegrid Alnoy's dark allegorical thriller tells the tale of an outsider who must confront her own personal demons after tragedy strikes. Christine (Sasha Andres) is a young secretary who works as a temp at various offices in her small French town. Consistently ignored by everyone around her, Christine desperately craves a connection of some sort. She finds it in Patricia (Catherine Mouchet), her recruiter at the temp agency. The two begin to spend time together, but when the relationship appears to be evolving into something truly genuine, Christine snaps and brutally murders Patricia. Miraculously, it is after this incident that the pieces begin to fall into place for Patricia. She gets a full-time job and moves into an apartment with her new boyfriend. But the guilt never goes away, and when a young coworker (Pierre-Felix Graviere) and a police inspector (Carlo Brandt) start asking questions, Christine commits a truly redemptive act.
Alnoy's debut feature is an attack on the suffocating, inhumane conditions of modern society. Employing an abstract visual style and subjective point-of-view, Alnoy thrusts viewers into the confused mind of a deeply troubled soul. Much like Bruno Dumont's HUMANITE, SHE'S ONE OF US takes a heightened, symbolic approach to its subject matter, resulting in a film that is brave and challenging.
One of French cinema's boldest ...
