THE OTHER WOMAN
(1954, 20th Century-Fox, 81 min.)
When megalomaniacal film director Walter Darman (Hugo Haas) fires no-talent actress Sherry Stewart (Cleo Moore) from his latest artistic opus, the shamed sexpot schemes revenge! She drugs Darman, convinces him they've shared a night of scandalous debauchery, and begins the blackmail. But this is a director with experience at rewriting other people's scripts!

9:15
THE COME-ON
(1956, Allied Artists [UCLA], 81 min.)
This late-in-the-cycle James M. Cain-style noir gets an ultra-rare screening at NOIR CITY via the last surviving 35mm print in existence! Sexy married cougar Anne Baxter catches the eye of sun-baked seafarer Sterling Hayden and -- wouldn't you know it! -- before their swimming suits are dry they're plotting the murder of her husband. Not available in any other media; this is your sole chance to see Anne Baxter pant her way through dozens of double-crosses . . . on the giant Castro Theatre screen!
