35MM PRESENTATION
Writers Leigh Brackett and William Faulkner turned Raymond Chandler's brooding crime novel into a screwball noir that was an instant classic. Bogart and Bacall's romance is the fuel for this fire, but it's easy to forget that the famously convoluted story hinges on the evil machinations of General Sternwood's daughter Carmen, a young, creepy, and utterly disturbing femme fatale whose nihilism is so chilling it's almost hard to watch.
