A post by Lloydville Rediscovering Preminger on his blog mardecortesbaja.com, has alerted me to an Otto Preminger retrospective at New York’s Film Forum from 2-17 January.Preminger’s many masterworks include a number of film noir movies from the classic period, and the Film Forum has included an excellent selection for the retrospective – the brilliant Laura (1946) was screened last week:
Double-Feature Sunday Jan 6 – 2:50, 6:30, 10:10 pm
ANGEL FACE (1952)
“the precision of the editing, the mise-en-scene, and the directing of the actors attain a wholly classical clarity of definition” – A Panorama of American Film Noir 1941-1953
FALLEN ANGEL (1945)
“all the intensity of great film noir” – Ibid.
Double-Feature Thursday Jan 17 – 2:50, 6:30, 10:10 pm
WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS (1950)
“includes a fascinating manhunt” Ibid.
WHIRLPOOL (1949)

To coincide with the Film Forum series, an exhibition of Preminger film posters, spotlighting the innovative graphics of Saul Bass, will run at that great movie poster house Posteritati (239 Centre Street; 212- 226-2207) January 2-31. Visit their web site for a great selection of original film noir posters on sale all of January.
