UNFAITHFULLY YOURS (1948)
Special Features: 75th Anniversary. Intro by film historian Foster Hirsch on Oct. 21
As film noir swept over late '40s Hollywood, Preston Sturges created the first full-length parody of the genre with this mordantly hilarious tale of a jealous orchestra conductor (Rex Harrison) envisioning three distinct plots to murder his supposedly unfaithful wife (Linda Darnell). Turning THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE into uproarious comedy takes only a few tweaks and twists for this genuinely brilliant auteur. UNFAITHFULLY YOURS is a side-splitting farce made even funnier by Harrison's demonically deadpan portrayal of the megalomaniacal would-be murderer. (Note courtesy of the Film Noir Foundation.) DIR/SCR/PROD Preston Sturges. U.S., 1948, b&w, 105 min. NOT RATED
