#NoirCity Chicago ends strong with dastardly dames. “Scarlet Street” (1945) is where Edward G. Robinson falls for Joan Bennett. But her pimp Dan Duryea has long con plans. Walter Wagner Prod. Thx @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social & @noirfoundation.bsky.social for a swell celebration of #filmnoir

On the #NoirCity double bill, someone will “Cry Danger” (1951) because people are in peril. Dick Powell is out of prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He’s free thanks to questionable testimony. Rhonda Fleming may know where the loot is stashed. William Conrad is the heist organizer. RKO.
