The Enforcer (Murder, Inc., 1951)

"In seven more hours, Mendoza walks out of that courtroom a free man. How can that be? What's wrong with the law that we can't touch him? Oh, I know, our kind of laws are designed to protect the innocent. It's not enough that we know a man is guilty, we have to prove it."

Rita Hayworth is 'The Lady from Shanghai' on Criterion Channel

Orson Welles casts himself in the most unlikely role of his career—as a goodhearted sailor who falls prey to the conniving plots of wealthy social piranhas—in The Lady from Shanghai (1947), perhaps the most baroque film in the annals of film noir. Irish sailor Michael O’Hara (Welles) is a misguided vagabond and would-be writer who unwittingly, but not entirely unwillingly, becomes involved in a…

Here's a peek at the femme fatales (and an homme fatale for good measure) of NOIR CITY 20, January 20-29 at Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre. Intros by Eddie Muller. Full festival schedule, tickets and passports (all-access passes) at www.noircity.com

Friday, January 20

THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI

9:15 PM

Welles' dazzling and dizzying pulp poetry takes the classic femme fatale tale to globe-spanning lengths and hallucinatory heights. Hard-luck sailor Michael O'Hara (Welles) tumbles into the snare of gorgeous and mysterious Elsa Bannister (Hayworth) only to find himself caught in the murderous conspiracy of her viperous cohorts. Welles improvised a brilliant, chaotic 155‑minute noir epic, which studio editor Viola Lawrence pruned to 86 feverish minutes. What remained is one of the most startlingly inventive crime films ever released by a Hollywood studio. Featuring Everett Sloane, Glenn Anders, and Ted de Corsia. Plays with KEY LARGO. Double feature starts at 7:00 PM

Monday, January 23

SLEEP, MY LOVE

9:00 PM

Alison Courtland (Claudette Colbert) awakens on a speeding train with no memory of how she got there. Reunited with her husband Richard (Don Ameche), he proposes hypnosis to uncover the root of his wife's mental instability. Overlooked in the noir canon because it was deemed a "woman's picture," Sleep, My Love is one of Sirk's strongest 1940s pictures, deftly combining witty humor, creepy atmospherics, and genuine thrills all anchored by the sprightly chemistry of co-stars Colbert and Robert Cummings. Plays with SO EVIL MY LOVE. Double feature starts at 7:00 PM

Sunday, January 29

THE VELVET TOUCH

3:15, 8:00 PM

Following the success of 1947's A Double Life, in which Ronald Colman played a murderous Broadway actor, Rosalind Russell took her only trip into Dark City as Valerie Stanton, a revered Broadway actress who accidentally kills her producer (and former lover) during an argument. Valerie's thespian talents help cover up the crime, but when her archrival (played by Claire Trevor) becomes the prime suspect, will Valerie's guilty conscience prevail? A wonderful, if rarely screened, backstage thriller. Plays with UNFAITHFULLY YOURS, 1:00, 6:00 PM.

Friday, January 27

RAW DEAL

7:30 PM

Social worker Marsha Hunt and gangster's moll Claire Trevor duke it out for the soul of homme fatal Dennis O'Keefe in this rambunctious display of quintessential noir pulp. O'Keefe busts out of the slammer determined to get even with shyster gang-boss Raymond Burr, who wants O'Keefe dead before he reaches his San Francisco hideout. Stunning images by legendary cinematographer John Alton make this arguably the most visually stylish noir of them all. As Eddie likes to say, it's "Pure Pulp for Noir People." Plays with HE WALKED BY NIGHT, 9:15 PM

Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth in The Lady From Shanghai (Orson Welles, 1947)

Cast: Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles, Everett Sloan, Glenn Anders, Ted de Corsia, Erskine Sanford, Gus Schilling, Carl Frank, Louis Merrill, Evelyn Ellis, Harry Shannon. Screenplay: Orson Welles, based on a novel by Sherwood King. Cinematography: Charles Lawton Jr., Rudolph Maté, Joseph Walker. Art direction: Sturges Carne, Stephen Goosson. Film editing: Viola Lawrence. Music: Heinz Roemheld. 

Like most of Orson Welles's Hollywood work, The Lady From Shanghai is the product of clashing wills: Welles's and the studio's -- in this case, Columbia under its infamous boss Harry Cohn. And as usual, the clash shows, sometimes in Welles's brilliance, such as the celebrated shootout in a hall of mirrors at the film's end, and sometimes in his indifference to the material: Is there any real excuse for the farcical courtroom scene that so violates any sense of consistency in the film's tone? Welles miscast himself as the protagonist, Michael O'Hara, a two-fisted Irish seaman, complete with an accent that he must have picked up in his youthful days in the Dublin theater. His soon-to-be ex-wife, Rita Hayworth, was forced upon him by Cohn, whom he angered by having her cut her hair and dye it blond. Her Elsa Bannister is the epitome of the treacherous film noir femme fatale, but it's hard to say whether the screenplay -- mostly by Welles -- or Hayworth's limited acting ability prevents the character from coming into focus. The real casting coup of the film is Everett Sloane as as Elsa's crippled husband, Arthur, and Glenn Anders as his partner, George Grisby. I use the word "partner" intentionally, because the film dodges around the Production Code in its hints that Bannister and Grisby are more than just law-firm partners, evoking the stereotypical catty and mutually destructive gay couple. Welles insisted on filming on location, which means we get some fascinating glimpses of late-1940s Acapulco and San Francisco, shot by Charles Lawton Jr. and the uncredited Rudolph Maté and Joseph Walker. In short, the movie is a mess, but sometimes a glorious mess.

Crime Wave

Andre de Toth’s CRIME WAVE (1954, TCM, YouTube) doesn’t look like any other Warner Bros. film of its period. A large part of that is a result of de Toth’s shooting almost entirely on location in Los Angeles, Burbank and Glendale and his use of non-professionals in small roles. That gives the film a documentary feel. But he also has a distinctive visual style, with striking compositions and telling details. At one point ex-con Gene Nelson has just gotten a middle-of the night phone call from a former jail mate who’s in trouble. Later police detective Sterling Hayden calls, and de Toth cuts to a close shot of the phone ringing. It’s notable that the light is still on, suggesting that Nelson and wife Phyllis Kirk haven’t been sleeping since the previous call. Nelson’s hand reaches into frame to pick up the phone, and Kirk grabs him. Only her hand is visible, but the wedding ring is prominent as she tells him not to let the call interrupt them.

It's a good thing de Toth has a strong visual sense and a good hand at directing actors, because the script isn’t all that exciting and promises more than it delivers. Three ex-cons (including Charles Buchinsky, later Bronson) who had done time with Nelson are engaged in a crime spree and need his help to pull off a bank job and escape to Mexico. Meanwhile, Hayden is pressuring Evans to keep him informed should he hear from them, even if it puts Evans and his wife in danger. It’s all pretty much by the numbers, but it moves fast and looks great. The cast is very good, and Evans and Bronson wear tight shirts, which adds a definite visual appeal (those into women aren’t as well served; Kirk is attractive but rather modest). The cast also features Ted Corsia as the criminal boss, Ned Young (who would later co-write THE DEFIANT ONES) as a wounded crook, Jay Novello as a doctor-turned-compassionate vet, Dub Taylor as a talkative gas station attendant, Iris Adrian and a lot of mascara as Bronson’s ex-, Timothy Carey as a demented crook who can steal scenes even when out of focus and the voice of Evans’ frequent co-star Doris Day on the radio at the start.
