Film: “The Killers”
(Universal, 1946) Director Robert Siodmak and screenwriter Anthony Veiller, both nominated for an Oscar, took the
original Ernest Hemingway short story as the film’s opening point and developed it with an elaborate series of flashbacks, creating a classic example of film noir. Two killers shatter a small town’s quiet before an insurance investigator (Edmond O’Brien) digs up crime, betrayal, and a glamorous woman (Ava Gardner) behind the death of an ex-fighter (Burt Lancaster in his electrifying film debut). The noir aesthetic is heightened by the Miklós Rózsa score and Arthur Hilton’s editing, both of which were nominated for Academy Awards. “The Killers” was added to the National Film Registry in 2008. 7:30 p.m. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required.

Film: “The Postman Always Rings Twice”
(MGM, 1946) Drifter Frank Chambers (John Garfield) takes a job at a roadhouse run by slovenly but likeable Nick Smith (Cecil Kellaway). Nick’s sexy young wife Cora (Lana Turner) takes an immediate liking to Frank, but he senses that she’s trouble and he keeps his distance–for a while. MGM bought the rights to pulp novelist James M. Cain’s hard-bitten murder romance, “The Postman Always Rings Twice” in 1934, but it took 12 years to make it to the screen. Writer-producer Carey Wilson adapted a script that passed by the censorious Hays Administration and director Tay Garnett turned out an electrifying drama enhanced by the charismatic performances of the two leads. 7:30 p.m. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required.

Film: “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?”
(Warner Bros., 1962) Bette Davis stars as Jane Hudson, a demented and aging former movie star who holds her paraplegic sister
Blanche (Joan Crawford) captive in a decaying Hollywood mansion. Directed by Robert Aldrich, the part macabre psychological thriller, part black comedy and part camp, “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” quickly entered into the American pop cultural lexicon. The perceived and perhaps exaggerated rivalry between the two stars in their only film together was, at least in part, responsible for the film’s success and it inspired the highly- rated 2017 FX mini-series “Feud.”
Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required.
