NOIR CITY X: OKAY, AMERICA / AFRAID TO TALK
The price of admission gets you in for the double bill.
1:00, 4:00
OKAY, AMERICA
(1932, Universal, 78 min.)
A hugely popular radio "columnist" (Lew Ayres), clearly based on the legendary Walter Winchell, uses his influence to manipulate both sides of the law while investigating a kidnapping that leads all the way to the White House. A wildly entertaining pre-Code expose on the greasy relationship between politicians, organized crime, and the burgeoning American media. Screenplay by William Anthony McGuire. Directed by Tay Garnett.
2:40
AFRAID TO TALK aka Merry-Go-Round
(1932, Universal, 69 min.)
Gangsters and politicians, worried their allegiances will be revealed, conspire to destroy a innocent bellhop (Eric Linden) who witnesses a murder in the penthouse suite. A scathing, uncompromising, and still timely look at the corruption inherent in American big city politics. Indelible performances from a vast cast, headed by Louis Calhern and Edward Arnold. Screenplay by Albert Maltz and George Sklar, based on their play. Directed by Edward L. Cahn.
