There was also film noir series at a small neighborhood movie theater (long gone) in Berkeley sometime in the 1980s. I have the poster archived somewhere, but I don't recall the theater's name.
Elliot kindly sent me his poster -- the Roxie series took place a year before I moved to Berkeley. My phone call to him was my first contact with him.
In 1978, I arrived in Barcelona while one of its movie theaters was holding a film noir series. That's when I saw Don't Bother To Knock -- years if not decades before it was called a film noir in the US. (Funny story: the film was supposed to have Spanish subtitles but they were missing. So about half the audience first shouted at the screen, then the walked out to get their money back.)
