Noir Crazy!

It’s that time of year to get crazy — er, make that Gun Crazy — as Peggy Cummins, the star of the 1950 classic noir movie, will be making a special appearance at Eddie Muller’s annual San Francisco Film Noir Festival, which runs from January 25 to February 3.

A Dash-ell of Hammett, please?

Look out, film fanatics, because Noir City’s annual San Francisco Film Noir Festival begins this weekend and runs through January 29, capping off with a Dashell Hammett marathon, including screenings of the 1931 and 1941 versions of The Maltese Falcon

And don’t miss out on these French poster beauties (drawn by Roger Soubie) of that other Hammett classic, The Glass Key.
