Robert Aldrich: Kiss Me Deadly
@ Doc Films at the University of Chicago
1212 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Thursday, December 6th, from 9:30PM - 11:15PM
In this essential film noir, gumshoe Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) picks up a beautiful hitchhiker (a young Cloris Leachman) wearing only a trench coat. Thugs hijack the car and murder the hitchhiker. At a police station, a detective is especially insistent that Mike forget about it, but Mike can’t help but investigate, instigating a tour of a degenerate cartoon mirage of Los Angeles infested with idiots, assholes, and weirdos. 35mm collection print courtesy of UCLA Film & Television Archive
runtime: 106m format: 35mm
Part of our Thursday II series, Enter the Labyrinth
