ABOUT THE FILMS: ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW, 1959, Robert Wise, 95 Minutes, Park Circus, USA Widely cited as the last movie of the film noir era, this taut caper stars Robert Ryan as a bigoted ex-con at odds with a reckless gambler (Harry Belafonte) who happens to be his partner-in-crime. FORMAT: 35mm KANSAS CITY, 1996, Robert Altman, USA, 116 Minutes, Arrow Films, USA Blondie O’Hara (Jennifer Jason Leigh, THE HATEFUL EIGHT) resorts to desperate measures when her low-level hood husband Johnny (Dermot Mulroney) gets caught trying to steal from Seldom Seen (Harry Belafonte), a local crime boss operating out of jazz haunt The Hey-Hey Club. Out on a limb, Blondie kidnaps laudanum-addled socialite Carolyn (Miranda Richardson), hoping her influential politician husband can pull the right strings and get Johnny out of Seldom Seen’s clutches. Returning to the city of his birth for inspiration, legendary director Robert Altman (NASHVILLE) helms an evocative, bullet-riddled tribute to the music and movies of his youth in a Depression-era gangster film as only he could make. FORMAT: DCP
