Buzz Kulik, 93 Mins, USA Originally released May 15, 1963 Wait a minute—where’d this come from? A late-cycle film noir with a script by Rod Serling, from a novel by Whit (TOUCH OF EVIL) Masterson? Starring Pat Boone as an egomaniacal pop crooner whose only child is kidnapped for a king’s ransom? With Barbara Eden as his wife? And Jack Klugman the investigating cop? With a wall-to-wall jazz-pop score by Kenyon Hopkins? And a supporting cast that’s a Who’s Who of sixties favorites: Steve Forrest, Jesse White, Harold Gould, Milton Seltzer, Jeff Corey, Joe Turkel . . . Be here at the Egyptian Theatre as the Film Noir Foundation resurrects this pop culture obscurity in a brand-new digital restoration —with star Pat Boone in person! One of the first features on the résumé of veteran TV-director Buzz Kulik (PLAYHOUSE 90, TWILIGHT ZONE, WARNING SHOT, BRIAN’S SONG). FORMAT: DCP THE CRIMSON CANARY, 1945, Dir. John Hoffman, 64 Mins, Universal Pictures, USA Originally released November 9, 1945 THE CRIMSON CANARY boasts two things that make B-movies so much fun: a great premise and a short runtime. A trumpet player gets locked up after the lead singer of his band gets whacked. The trumpeter’s fiancée sets out to find the real killer with help from a jazz-loving detective. The film’s Black-led musical numbers have little to do with its plot, which made them easier to cut for Southern censors, but they make up several of the film’s best moments. Coleman Hawkins rips through spirited renditions of “Rifftide” and “Hollywood Stampede,” while blues/folk legend Josh White brings down the house with his signature tune “One Meatball.” Featuring a memorably nasty performance by Claudia Drake (DETOUR) as the murdered singer. FORMAT: 35mm
