Noir Alley returns on September 3 2022 with Hit and Run (1957), which features Cleo Moore in her final film appearance and Vince Edward, who would play Ben Casey in the TV show of the same name in a few years. Hit and Run centres on an older man (Hugo Haas) who marry a younger showgirl with disastrous results.
On September 10 2022 Obsession (1949) airs on Noir Alley. It is a British thriller in which a well-to-do psychiatrist (Robert Newton) decides to kill his cheating wife. It was the first of two films directed by Edward Dmytryk in the United Kingdom after he had been cited for contempt of Congress (along with the rest of the Hollywood Ten) for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee.
The Naked Street (1955) airs on September 17 2022 (1955). The film stars Farley Granger as Nicky, a young man saved from the electric chair by his pregnant girlfriend's racketeer brother. In addition to Farley Granger, the movie also stars Anthony Quinn, Anne Bancroft, and Peter Graves.
On September 24 2022 Noir Alley will be showing I Love Trouble (1948). I Love Trouble is based on the novel The Double Take by Roy Huggins, which would also provide the inspiration for the classic TV show 77 Sunset Strip. In the film Franchot Tone plays detective Stuart Bailey (played by Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. on 77 Sunset Strip), who his hired to find the missing wife of a prominent politician.
Anyway, as much as I love Summer Under the Stars, I think I can safely speak for all Noir Alley fans when I say we are eager for its return.
