Repressed Cinema presents LOW BUDGET FILM NOIR NIGHT. Featuring a 16mm
print of Ed Wood Jr’s Jailbait + a 16mm 50's TV noir surprise!
Jailbait
(1954) Ed Wood Jr. brings us a dreamlike story of a crime gone wrong,
and it’s repurcussions, in this film noir on a shoe string budget. A
gangster and a young man pull a heist but soon find themselves on the
run. The gangster then blackmails the young man’s father to aide him
with escaping the law. Full of bizzare surprises, “Jailbait” was the
first film of Steve Reeves and features Wood’s then girlfriend, Delores
Fuller. Do not miss the Flamenco guitar soundtrack stolen from “The Mesa
of Lost Women” and the patented Ed Wood style dialogue.
Before
the feature there will be two preshow items: an extremely rare surprise
1950's film noir tv episode and, a segment from Portland’s own Bob
Moricz: “Overdose in the Hospital of Love”.
