The Dark Side of the Dream Matinee Series

Enjoy astounding films ranging from the 1930s to the 1960s that explore and expose the warts of the American Dream. On this day you’ll see:

“THE LAWLESS” (2:00) – Our tribute to Joseph Losey’s “social outcry” period begins with this tale of racial tension in a small town that boils over into mob violence thanks to yellow journalism. A lost Losey gem! (1950, Joseph Losey)

“M” (3:45) – Losey remakes Fritz Lang’s classic & fashions a nightmarish American version featuring an astonishing cast-against-type performance from David Wayne, complete with bravura sequences at Los Angeles’ iconic Bradbury Building! (1951, Joseph Losey)
