| A SAMUEL FULLER CONCOCTION |
| WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4th - 7:30pm |
| Tickets: $10 general / $9 students or seniors |
Controversial, conscientious and explicit, were the qualities that made iconic director Sam Fuller a molotov cocktail of powerful cinema, no better exemplified than with these two morbid and haunting tales of society's weight crumbling upon the individual. First, is Shock Corridor, with Peter Breck as the audacious reporter that willfully provokes to be interned into a sanitarium, with Contance Towers, as his partner in deceit. She also stars in the film to follow, The Naked Kiss, a harrowing tale of a tormented woman committed to escape a life of prostitution. Kelly (Towers), meets up with a roster of small town characters, among them, Police Captain Griff, played by Anthony Eisle. These are films you won't forget!

Review by Graeme Clark
"Director Samuel Fuller wrote the script for this outrageous tale of one man's road to ruin, a downfall of his own devising. The film is shot by Stanley Cortez with deep shadows and off kilter angles, all drawing out a sense of foreboding in the story, so that you're in no way surprised at the state Barrett ends up in. His girlfriend knows right away what will happen, and doesn't see that his sanity is much of an exchange for a Pulitzer, but Barrett is so determined and pig-headed that he refuses to entertain the notion that his actions are dangerous.
