PHANTOM LADY (1944)

Special Features: Intro by film history Alan K. Rode on Oct. 17 and 18

Loyal and lovely Carol (Ella Raines) is “one hep kitten” as she high-heels her way through the noir demimonde, searching for the one woman who can save her boss from a murder rap. Director Robert Siodmak and cinematographer Woody Bredell wring every juicy bit of shadowy mystery from the novel by master of suspense Cornell Woolrich. Famous for Elisha Cook Jr.’s manic interlude as a wigged-out jazz drummer in orgiastic frenzy, PHANTOM LADY is a truly seminal noir classic. (Note courtesy of Noir City Chicago.)
