Impromptu film of the romance of a girl who is courted by two shy young men and eventually swept off her feet by a stranger.

Something of an enduring delight for real film buffs. --Tony Rayns, Time Out Film Guide

Feb. 23 Party Girl Dir. Nicholas Ray

In 1930s Chicago, a mob lawyer and a showgirl meet, fall in love, and try to help each other escape their unsavory pasts and professions.

One of the film noir classics of the 1950s. --Rob Edelman, Magill's Survey of Cinema

Sal Mineo is convincing as the moody discotheque busboy. --Variety About Great Basin Film Society Founded in 2002, the Great Basin Film Society is a non-profit group of movie lovers whose mission is to complement Reno's film scene with art, independent and classic films. We are continually striving to provide the residents of the Reno/Sparks metropolitan area with opportunities to view films that 1) have never been shown in the Washoe County area; 2) have not appeared in theaters for many years; or 3) are not readily available on home video. The members of the Great Basin Film Society believe moviegoing can be a fun and enriching experience and are committed to promoting film as an important artistic medium.
