Elliot Lavine returns in May 2009 to the Roxie Theater in San Francisco with his latest and greatest film noir program,
I WAKE UP DREAMING : THE HAUNTED WORLD OF THE B FILM NOIR. Inspired by his new book of the same name, this series features some of the most obscure and fascinating examples of classic low-budget noir—most of them featured in the book. From May 14 through May 28, films like THE DEVIL THUMBS A RIDE, THE GUILTY, CANON CITY, ALLOTMENT WIVES, THE LAST CROOKED MILE, THE BURGLAR and HOLLOW TRIUMPH will thrill audiences with their gritty, low-down and mesmerizing nastiness. If you’re anywhere near the San Francisco Bay Area, you won’t want to miss this incredible series of films!
