Roxie Theater has been having a film noir festival, I Wake Up Dreaming: The Haunted World of the B-Film Noir, which started last Thursday and runs through this Sunday. The best part is that all nights are double-features. Here's the line-up:
Tonight: Spector of the Rose, about "the darkly demented world of dancers," and The Madonna's Secret, a mystery surrounding a painter who can't get the image of his dead fiancee out of his head.
Tomorrow night: The Story of Molly X, in which the beautiful widow of a slain gangster takes over control of his mob, and Port of 40 Thieves, about "a cunning femme fatale with a penchant for murder has devised a foolproof scheme that could net her a fabulous fortune!"
