Dead Reckoning (Cromwell, 1947): Chiswick Cinema, 8pm
Chiswick Cinema introduction:
Curated by local film critic and podcaster Matthew Turner, this mini
season of film noir classics runs exclusively at Chiswick Cinema
throughout November 2024.
Each film will be introduced by
Matthew Turner, a lifelong film noir enthusiast, who will also be
around in the bar after each screening. In addition, audiences are
invited to post about the films online, using the hashtag
#Noirvember, a great source of other film noir

About Dead Reckoning:
Released the
same year as The Big Sleep, this lesser-known noir
thriller is ripe for rediscovery. Told in flashback, it stars Humprey
Bogart as war hero “Rip” Murdock, who investigates the death of a
fellow soldier and becomes entangled with smokey-voiced femme fatale
Coral Chandler (Lizabeth Scott), who was his friend’s mistress.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
