Double Feature ticket option includes admission to THE FILE ON THELMA JORDON
“I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.” Dorothy Hughes’ prize-winning crime novel was completely reworked by Nick Ray, turning it into an excoriation of Hollywood and the sadly self-destructive nature of its artists. Bogart gives a self-revelatory performance as hot-tempered Dixon Steele, who is coolly unfazed at being the prime suspect in a murder investigation. He’s more interested in his neighbor, the delectable Gloria Grahame – who reignites his creative fuse. Bus is Dix predestined to explode?
