STORM WARNING (1951) in 35mm
Special Features: Oct. 15 screening features intro by Film Noir Foundation founder Eddie Muller, host of TCM's NOIR ALLEY
Model and saleswoman Marsha Mitchell (Ginger Rogers) stops off from her business trip to visit her younger sister (Doris Day) in the sleepy Southern town of Rock Point. But the night she arrives, she stumbles upon a murder scene at the edge of town, spying a group of Klansmen posing — unmasked — with their victim. Stealing away undetected, Marsha arrives at her sister's and is shocked to recognize her new brother-in law, Hank (Steve Cochran), as one of the killers. Rogers delivers unprecedented dramatic shadings as the conscience-torn sister, and Ronald Reagan gives one of his better performances as the upright D. A. to whom she turns for help in director Stuart Heisler's (THE GLASS KEY) noir-tinged thriller. DIR Stuart Heisler; SCR Daniel Fuchs, Richard Brooks; PROD Jerry Wald. U.S., 1951, b&w, 93 min.
