Hatari!

Kino Lorber | 1962 | 157 min | Not Rated
Directed by Howard Hawks

Legendary director Howard Hawks (Red River, Rio Bravo) re-teams with “The Duke” John Wayne (Sands of Iwo Jima, Donovan’s Reef), who stars as the leader of a group of highly skilled professional game hunters in Africa. Only they don’t use bullets—they capture the ferocious big game with strong ropes and cameras for zoos and circus attractions. It is an exciting business that pits man against beast. “Hatari” is Swahili for “danger”—and also the word for action, adventure, romance and broad comedy in this two-fisted Hawks effort that provides rousing entertainment for people of all ages! The fine cast also includes Hardy Krüger (A Bridge Too Far), Red Buttons (Sayonara) and beautiful Elsa Martinelli (The Belle Starr Story); with a script by longtime Hawks cohort Leigh Brackett (El Dorado, Rio Lobo), Oscar-nominated Technicolor cinematography by Russell Harlan (To Kill a Mockingbird) and the fabulous music of Henry Mancini (Arabesque).

Black Eye

Warner Bros. | 1974 | 98 min | Rated PG
Directed by Jack Arnold

Since he gave up his police badge, Shep Stone’s tried to make a go of it as a Private Investigator. A snoop job here, a shakedown there; work hasn’t exactly poured into the rundown bar where he occupies a stool keeping office hours. But one night, Stone walks into his apartment – and into a room where a murder victim is still warm….and the killer is lying in wait for Stone. Fred Williamson (From Dusk till Dawn) plays Stone, whose search for a murder weapon spins into a spider’s web of suspense linking a religious cult, a porno ring, a missing person and a notorious drug underground. Labeled “The Hammer” because of his gridiron style, the former pro-football star attacks the role of Stone with the same hard-hitting driving style. From a high-rent high-rise to a dilapidated amusement park, from alleyways to the beach, Stone sorts out clues, sidesteps increasing numbers of corpses and shows tough guys what tough is all about. He gets a couple of C-notes in advance for his trouble. He dishes out much more in excitement.

Directed by Budd Boetticher

Detective Sam Wagner’s job is never easy. But this is no ordinary stressful day for Wagner (Joseph Cotten, The Third Man) or his wife Lila (Rhonda Fleming, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral). After pegging a recent bank robbery as an inside job orchestrated by the deceptively mild-mannered, bespectacled clerk Leon Poole (Wendell Corey, I Walk Alone), Wagner heads to the suspect’s apartment to make a peaceable arrest. Instead, Poole’s beloved wife is accidentally killed in the crossfire of a violent shootout. Sent to prison, and believing Wagner is responsible for his wife’s death, Poole is desperate for revenge. Escape and murder soon follow with the maniacal Poole hell-bent on taking away the woman Wagner loves. Helmed by the gritty Budd Boetticher, director of Horizons West, Wings of the Hawk, Seven Men from Now and The Tall T, The Killer Is Loose takes the filmmaker’s unique visual style away from the plains and into the world of suburbia for this taut and terrifying noir thriller.

Warner Bros. | 1978 | 104 min | Not Rated
Directed by Lina Wertmüller

Lizzy (Candice Bergen), a liberated American photographer, falls for narrow-minded journalist Paolo (Giancarlo Giannini). Then finds she can’t live with him or without him. Bergen (Murphy Brown) and Giannini (Seven Beauties) take both comic and fierce battle stations in this colorful excursion into the male/female combat zone. So what if the world, as we learn from the TV in Lizzy and Paolo’s luxurious apartment, is crashing around their ears; this is WAR! Writer/director Lina Wertmuller relied on spontaneity and improvisation in making… A Night Full of Rain, her first film in English. Giannini, star of Wertmuller’s groundbreaking Swept Away and Seven Beauties, was familiar with the technique, Bergen wasn’t. But it worked splendidly. Bergen gives one of the warmest and most characterful performances of her career, the Los Angeles Times hailed. When it rains, this film’s two stars pour it on!
