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
 
Mar. 9  Phantom Lady  Dir. Robert Siodmak
 A loyal secretary races against time trying to find an elusive woman who can clear her boss of murder before his appointment with the executioner.
 
****.  This superlative film noir classic is not to be missed.  --Michael F. Keaney, Film Noir Guide
 
Mar. 23  Who Killed Teddy Bear?  Dir. Joseph Cates
 A discotheque hostess is Text Box: harassed by a disturbed, knowing and anonymous admirer, but she gets dubious protection from the police and scant comfort from her female employer.
 
Shrewd use of Manhattan street backgrounds.  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.
