a scene from OUT OF THE PAST

THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE Peter Yates, 1973; 102m Mitchum is remarkable as an aging, small-time hood trying to stay alive in a mob-run neighborhood rife with Machiavellian plots and betrayals. With Richard Jordan, Alex Rocco, Peter Boyle, from a novel by George V. Higgins. Wed, Oct 15: 2 and 6 pm Fri, Oct 17: 4 and 8:15 pm THE NAKED SPUR Anthony Mann, 1953; 91minutes Leonard Maltin calls it "one of the best Westerns ever made:'' savage, no-punches-pulled psychological drama with Stewart as a bounty hunter driven to bring in the truly evil Robert Ryan. Wed, Oct 15: 4 and 8 pm Fri, Oct 17: 2 and 6:15 pm TWO RODE TOGETHER John Ford, 1961; 109 minutes; new print A revisionist Western in which Stewart plays a charmingly amoral, money-grubbing lawman helping to rescue some Comanche captives--who would probably be better off unrescued. With Richard Widmark, Woody Strode, Shirley Jones, Harry Carey Jr. Sat, Oct 18: 2 and 7 pm Sun, Oct 19: 4:50 pm THUNDER ROAD Arthur Ripley, 1958; 92 minutes The first and choicest of the many car-chase films in which lawmen race after moonshine runners on twisting Southern backwoods. It has always been a drive-in favorite; since the late sixties, critics have been added to its large cult following. Robert Mitchum (who devised the story) is the best moonshine runner in Tennessee -- transporting the illegal liquor his father makes in his still. He's so successful that U.S. Treasury agent Gene Barry makes a concerted effort to stop him, consequently putting pressure on other moonshine runners. Meanwhile, big city mobster Jacques Aubuchon tries to horn in on the moonshine action by rubbing put Mitchum. With the Feds and the mob after him, Mitchum decides to make one last run. The picture has exciting scenes and offbeat touches by director Arthur Ripley. Also with: Keely Smith, Peter Breck, Trevor Bardette, Sandra Knight, Jim Mitchum and Mitch Ryan. Sat, Oct 18: 4:10 and 9 pm Sun, Oct 19: 2 and 7 pm OUT OF THE PAST Jacques Tourneur, 1947, 97 minutes, 35mm A private detective gets caught in a complex web of love, murder and mystery. With Robert Mitchum , Kirk Douglas, Jane Greer and Rhonda Fleming. Monday, October 20 at 2 pm and 6 pm Tuesday, October 21 at 2 pm ANGEL FACE Otto Preminger, 1959, 91 minutes, 35mm Jean Simmons as a terrific noir nutso who draws innocent Mitchum into her homicidal web. With Herbert Marshall. Monday, October 20 at 4 pm and 8 pm Tuesday, October 21 at 4 pm
