12:00
BORDER INCIDENT
(1949, United States, 94 min.)
Scr. John C. Higgins. Dir. Anthony Mann
Agents of both countries go undercover to bust a gang exploiting migrant workers on the U.S.-Mexico border. Anthony Mann's rugged direction and John Alton's stunning cinematography enhance this powerful crime drama. With Ricardo Montalban, George Murphy, Howard da Silva.
2:00
EN LA PALMA DE TU MANO (IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND)
(1951, Mexico, 90 min., English subtitles)
Scr. Jose Revueltas and Roberto Gavaldon, from a story by Luis Spota. Dir. Roberto Gavaldon
A con artist seduces the widow of a millionaire, only to learn she'd plotted with her lover to murder the late husband. A tense game of cat-and-mouse ensues -- but who's the cat? Perhaps the greatest thriller ever made in Mexico, starring Arturo de Cordova and Leticia Palma.
4:00
VICTIMAS DEL PECADO (VICTIMS OF SIN)
(1951, Mexico, 90 min., English subtitles)
Scr. Emilio Fernandez and Mauricio Magdelano. Dir. Emilio Fernandez
A dancer-prostitute (the fabulous Ninon Sevilla) rescues a baby from the garbage and is determined to raise it, despite her poverty and the threats of her pachuco pimp. The apotheosis of the Mexican "cabaretera" film, a combustible combo of music, dance, and noir melodrama.
