TV Noir on the Big Screen
The FNF will co-present Noir Television: Naked City with UCLA Film & Television Archive on Sunday, October 15, 7:00 p.m. at the Billy Wilder Theater located in Los Angeles' Hammer Museum.
The evening comprises two episodes of Naked City, a police drama from the original Golden Age of Television, and an in-person Q&A with FNF board member Alan K. Rode and actor/writer Michael McGreevey between screenings. Based on Jules Dassin's acclaimed 1948 motion picture of the same name, Naked City boasted location photography and a host of New York actors in thoughtful, original teleplays that emphasized character over action.
First, Jack Warden (Twelve Angry Men) guest stars as a fugitive who takes refuge in a tenement rooftop hideaway belonging to a troubled child (Mike McGreevey) in The King of Venus Will Take Care of You (1962). As the police close in, the misfit pair confront each other and their individual life circumstances, which are untenable.
A Horse Has a Big Head — Let Him Worry (1962) plays second. In groundbreaking casting, Diahann Carroll (Julia) guests as an earnest special education teacher searching for a sight-impaired student (John Megna) who, in defiant independence, wanders away on a field trip. Admission is free. Full details and program notes are available on UCLA's website.

Rewatched this fine little supernatural-like comedy yesterday; a remake of the earlier Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941) that I actually think improves on it.
The story, of a football player taken to the afterlife before his time and so coming back in the body of a rich man, is the kind of thing that has been made a bunch of times in lots of hackneyed ways, but this one pulls it off better than most others through the quality and care you can feel in every department: the acting is real acting, detailed and likeable the whole way through, with Jack Warden probably shining the brightest, and Julie Christie's performance in the final scene of the film is probably her best, making what could be light and throwaway into something extremely memorable with genuine emotional power, very much reminiscent of Chaplin's City Lights. It really is the kind of film they don't - and can't - make anymore.
