Eddie will bring some of the musical crew to the Egyptian Theater for NC LA, and a few changes in the film lineup (several of them fortuitous) will be evident in the six-day, 20-film shebang. Here's what the American Cinematheque hath wrought for this installment of NC...

FRI 4/3
BLUES IN THE NIGHT/BLACK ANGEL

SAT 4/4
HANGOVER SQUARE
ANATOMY Of A MURDER
THE YELLOW CANARY/THE CRIMSON CANARY

SUN 4/5

LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME
A MAN CALLED ADAM/ALL NIGHT LONG

FRI 4/10
THE MAN I LOVE/NORA PRENTISS

SAT 4/11
THE LONG GOODBYE
SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS
KING CREOLE/YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN

SUN 4/12
THE NAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM
ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW
KANSAS CITY/PETE KELLY'S BLUES

Films in bold are those retained from the original NC 23 in January.

THE YELLOW CANARY is the latest FNF restoration, which is not the least of their efforts (that would be THE ARGYLE SECRETS) but is a rather wan footnote from the early sixties, featuring two entertainment figures definitely cast against type (Pat Boone and Barbara Eden). Veteran TV director Buzz Kulik was the mastermind; his later (neo-)noir WARNING SHOT is a more substantial effort. Both Eden and Boone (both exceptionally long-lived) will be on hand for an interview with Eddie on 4/4 (which is also the birthdays of Alan Rode and Esther Howard).
