This week we are featuring FIVE FINGERS (1952) this WEDNESDAY.
For this month, we are viewing film noir titles or at least gritty urban post-war cinema. “NOIRVEMBER”
Directed by Joseph Mankiewicz. Music by Bernard Herrmann. The poster says, “Lust, Greed, Passion, Desire, Sin” the “five fingers.” So, those are the five fingers of a sinful hand (maybe?)
This is postwar spy thriller, with location shooting in Berlin, Ankara, London, and Istanbul. Stars James Mason and Danielle Darrieux. This was acclaimed for its screenplay and direction.
I bet you haven’t seen it, so come take a chance on it. You will likely be pleasantly surprised. Screening on a WEDNESDAY, if your schedule has kept you from joining us this semester, now you can come.
What you missed last week: a hearing impaired prison inmate who proves his worth by reading lips across crowded cafeterias, and through mirrors strategically placed in cells and hallways.
