CELEBRATING THE RESIDENTIAL PARK COMMUNITIES FOR 63 YEARS
Joan Crawford in “Flamingo Road.”
Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival ramps up intrigue and suspense By Alison Elsner
P
resented annually by The Palm Springs Cultural Center, this festival was founded in 2000 by the late Arthur Lyons, showcasing an eclectic mix of Classic Film Noir “B” movies. Opening night will feature “Farewell My Lovely” (1975), a story of ex-con Moose (Jack O’Halloran) who hires private eye Phillip Mar-
lowe (Robert Mitchum) to find his long-lost girlfriend, Velma, a lounge singer. O’Halloran is tentatively scheduled to be in attendance as a special guest. Other films to be screened include such classics as “Flamingo Road” (1949), introducing us to dancer Lane Bellamy (Joan Crawford) who tours with a carnival but is deserted in Boldon City when they flee to avoid their debts;
“Kiss of Death” (1947), where New York hoodlum (Victor Mature) leads the district attorney (Brian Donlevy) to a volatile, grinning gangster (Richard Widmark); and dozens of others that will leave you spellbound from start to finish. Numerous special guests will be in attendance throughout the event. Film buff or newbie, the Festival is a treasure trove of film history and culture.
The Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival runs from Thursday, May 10 through Sunday, May 13. The festival is held at the Camelot Theatres, located at 2300 East Baristo Road in Palm Springs. Tickets are $13 per screening or all access pass for $129. For more information including schedule, visit arthurlyonsfilmnoir.ning.com.
