(Abraham Polonsky, US 1948, 78 min., 35mm)

John Garfield plays an attorney trying to juggle allegiances with underworld bosses and his own brother in the slimy New York numbers racket. In his directorial debut, Polonsky delivered one of the key films of the 1940s, but being on the Hollywood blacklist in 1951 prevented him from directing again for 20 years. At 8:30 p.m.: HE RAN ALL THE WAY (John Berry, US 1951, 77 min, 35mm) In his final role, John Garfield is a cop killer on the lam who holds Shelley Winters and her family hostage in their home. Tense and tough, the performances are memorable, as is the black-and-white cinematography of James Wong Howe.
