About this event
One of 90 upcoming events at BATTERY PARK CITY AUTHORITY, and 6,714 across New York City.
Each November, movie fans celebrate the hallmark antiheroes, femme fatales, moral complexities, and the stunning black & white cinematography of film noir. Free popcorn will be served, and a discussion will follow each screening. NOV05: The Killers (Robert Siodmak, 1946, 103 minutes) Adapted from an Ernest Hemingway short story, an insurance investigator pieces together the tragic life of an ex-boxer named “the Swede,” revealing how he was drawn into the underworld. NOV19: Pickup on South Street (Samuel Fuller, 1953, 80 minutes) A pickpocket, played by Richard Widmark in top form, unwittingly steals a top-secret microfilm from a courier on a New York subway, making himself the prime target of both a Communist spy ring and government agents.
