Algiers

Presented by Northern Arizona University, College of Arts and Letters at Liberal Arts Building, Rm. 120

This semester’s films will feature film noir from around the world and from a wide period ranging from 1931 to 2006. Besides telling thrilling stories of crime, the underworld, and femmes fatales, these films examine questions of morality, modernity, the battle of the sexes, and the fine line between right and wrong.

7 p.m. Wednesday, Sep. 20, Liberal Arts Building Room 120.

 

"Algiers", Dir. John Cromwell, USA, 1938, 99 minutes

In Algiers, Algeria, notorious thief Pepe le Moko (Charles Boyer) evades police capture by hiding within the maze-like Casbah district. Pepe's renown makes him a popular target not only with policeman Javier but also sympathetic Inspector Slimane (Joseph Calleia) and jealous thief Regis. Through Slimane, Pepe meets the beautiful American Gaby (Hedy Lamarr) and becomes obsessed with her. Regis' plan to lure Pepe out into the open falls apart, until Pepe learns that he may never see Gaby again.
