Here's a local (NBC Palm Spring) feature for the just-concluded Art Lyons Film Noir Festival, featuring Alan Rode, Lyons' widow, and the dapper Brian Light, occasional writer for the NC e-zine and film noir poster collector extraordinaire.
Looks as though it might have been done after the festival started: clips of the films being screened are interspersed into the story, which may have been taken during the first couple days of the program. (It's possible that their cameraman came in while the films were being test-screened, but a couple of them seem to reveal a sitting audience. However they were taken, they look darned good--you'll see a quick glimpse of Robert Mitchum and Barbara Bel Geddes in BLOOD ON THE MOON, a nice change of pace for the festival and the subject of a new BFI Film Classics "chapbook" authored by Rode. Always nice to be reminded how winsomely appealing Bel Geddes was as a headstrong cowgirl...)
