(1947) Directed by and starring Robert Montgomery. Thomas Gomez, Wanda Hendrix. (101

min.) 35mm print from Universal Studio Archive. A hard-boiled army vet arrives in a small New Mexico town to shake down the war profiteer he blames for his best friend’s death. Linger in the lobby of the (real) hotel La Fonda, as Georgia O’Keeffe once did; the film was shot in downtown Santa Fe during the Feast of Zozobra.

(1991) Directed by Ron Underwood. Billy Crystal, Jack Palance, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby. (113

min.) PG-13. 35mm print. Moping through a midlife crisis, Manhattanite Mitch (Billy Crystal) joins his besties on a fantasy cowboy vacation. Grappling with 20th-century masculinity issues, the boys seek to impress a rugged trailboss (Jack Palance) under the picturesque cliffs of Abiquiú, New Mexico, easily recognizable from the vivid canvases of Georgia O’Keeffe.

Dead of Night

(1945) Directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Robert Hamer, Charles Crichton, and Basil Dearden. Mervyn Johns, Michael Redgrave, Googie Withers. (77 min.) DCP. Haunted by a recurring nightmare, an architect arrives at a country house with a disturbing sense of déjà vu, inspiring the guests to take turns swapping supernatural tales. This omnibus film’s influence in the genre is far-reaching. Introduced by NCMA film curator Laura Boyes.

“A dead scary horror movie that skimps on the blood but not the goosebumps … Be afraid, be very afraid” (BBC).
