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, Nov. 29, Liberal Arts Building Room 120.

"Beat the Devil" Dir. John Huston, USA, 1954, 89 minutes

In this John Huston film—which features an unusual mix of adventure, comedy and crime elements -- Billy (Humphrey Bogart) and Maria Dannreuther (Gina Lollobrigida) are among a number of travelers stranded in Italy en route to Africa. While the Dannreuthers seem like an average couple, they have the same goal as Mrs. Gwendolen Chelm (Jennifer Jones) and some of their other shifty companions—to lay claim to property that is supposedly rich with uranium.
