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.
