The Reckless Moment (Max Ophüls, 1949), with James Mason, Joan Bennett, Geraldine Brooks. In 35 mm, 82 min.

Bad and dangerous. Just the way you like it. Desperate men, tough women with guns, quick-money schemes in a night world of rainy streets and lost souls, where half the fun is knowing you may never see tomorrow.

The museum’s film noir series, called "the granddaddy of the world’s film noir festivals" by the Los Angeles Times, celebrates its thirty-second year with a "fancy cake party" immediately after the opening night film. Remember that "the hottest film series tickets in town" sell out faster than a speeding black sedan.
