HOLLOW TRIUMPH A fugitive crook finds the perfect hiding place in the shoes of a psychiatrist who is his identical twin... almost. Produced by star Paul Heinreid, this is a sublime example of noir fatalism, lensed by the great John Alton. Directed by Steve Sekely. With Joan Bennett. Eagle-Lion, 1948. 83 min. Restored 35mm print courtesy UCLA Film & Television Archive.
