The Paris Theater—Manhattan’s last remaining single-screen movie palace—is proud to present NOIR CITY: NEW YORK, from Friday, July 10 through Sunday, July 19. Co-presented with the Film Noir Foundation and hosted by its president, the legendary “Czar of Noir” Eddie Muller, NOIR CITY stands as the world’s premier annual celebration of film noir. After 23 years as a flagship event in the Bay Area—and expanding to acclaimed satellite festivals in Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, and beyond– NOIR CITY: NEW YORK marks the festival’s long-awaited New York City debut, with a 10-day festival showcasing 32 feature films, with special in-person introductions, short films and an opening night musical performance by Elizabeth Bougerol. 

From July 10 - 16, NOIR CITY: NEW YORK will present ‘Face the Music!’, a 16-film program of crime and mystery films featuring . . . musicians! From early examples of Hollywood noir like Blues in the Night (1941) to jazz-fueled sixties’ gems like All Night Long (1962) and A Man Called Adam (1966), the movies feature genuine musical legends like Elvis Presley, Sammy Davis Jr., Hoagy Carmichael, and Doris Day performing alongside film noir favorites including Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Ida Lupino, Kirk Douglas, Ann Sheridan, and Rita Hayworth. Featuring: All Night Long • Black Angel • Blues in the Night* • The Crimson Canary* • Hangover Square • King Creole • Love Me or Leave Me • A Man Called Adam • The Man I Love • The Man With the Golden Arm* • Nora Prentiss • Sweet Smell of Success • To Have and Have Not* • The Yellow Canary • Young Man with a Horn

Additionally, NOIR CITY: NEW YORK will present ‘Dead End Streets,’ a collection of some of the genre’s all-time favorites, with special attention paid to noir set in New York. This section will include the East Coast premieres of new 4K Restorations of Jacques Tourneur’s Out of the Past (1947) starring Robert Mitchum, and Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) featuring a memorably unsettling Peter Lorre – both restorations are from the films’ original nitrate camera negative. We’re also presenting noir greats Double Indemnity, In a Lonely Place, and Ace in the Hole, as well as New York-centric titles such as Killer’s Kiss, The Big Clock, Guilty Bystander and many more! Featuring: Ace in the Hole • The Big Clock • Blast of Silence • Cry of the City • Double Indemnity • Force of Evil • Guilty Bystander • In a Lonely Place • Killer's Kiss • Out of the Past • Phantom Lady • Pickup on South Street • Sorry, Wrong Number* • Stranger on the Third Floor • Touch of Evil • The Window*
