    About

    NOIR CITY: Philadelphia returns to Phoenixville’s historical Colonial Theatre November 14-16, 2025, for a three-day extravaganza.  Join Film Noir Foundation founder and TCM host Eddie Muller for a festival featuring a film lineup that shines the spotlight on women whose cinematic legacy is entwined with the rise of film noir.

    Many of this year’s films star the six actresses profiled in Muller’s Dark City Dames: The Wicked Women of Film Noir, reissued this year in a newly revised and expanded edition. Jane Greer, Audrey Totter, Evelyn Keyes, Ann Savage, Coleen Gray, and Marie Windsor are the core cadre of women featured in this year’s program.

    SYNOPSIS

    Losey’s greatest American film, from a script by legendary screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, has a cop (Van Heflin) stalking a lonely, affluent housewife (Evelyn Keyes) and deciding to win her in time-honored noir tradition: by knocking off her husband. Don’t miss this opportunity to see one of the rarest—and most unusual—of all films noir in its original 35mm glory!
