Moment of Danger (aka Málaga) (Benedek, 1960): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 5.50pm
This 35mm screening (also being shown on July 19th) is part of the Dorothy Dandridge season at BFI. Full details here.
BFI introduction:
Thief Peter Curran double-crosses his partner John and girlfriend Gianna
following a robbery, making away with their ill-gotten gains. The two
trail him from London to Spain, along the way falling for each other.
Dorothy Dandridge gives Gianna a sense of depth and mystery, but also a longing
for the moment when she was happiest. When John says he plans to escape
to Mexico and enjoy the money they intend to retrieve from Peter, Gianna
replies wistfully, "London was my Mexico".
Here (and above) is the trailer.
