Thursday, August 4 - 7:30 PM 
Double Feature! THE LONG, LONG TRAILER, 1954, Warner Bros., 96 min. Dir. Vincente Minnelli. Long before VACATION and RV, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz hit the road (though not as the Ricardos) in color in this slapstick romp about newlyweds who buy a shiny new trailer and decide to take a cross-country honeymoon. Needless to say, "There’s gonna be a lotta ’splainin’ to do!" With Marjorie "Ma Kettle" Main, Keenan Wynn and Madge Blake; written by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich (FATHER OF THE BRIDE). [35mm]

THE DARK CORNER, 1946, 20th Century Fox, 99 min. Dir. Henry Hathaway. Wrongly convicted private eye Bradford Galt (Mark Stevens) is sprung from prison, but bad luck sticks to his gummed shoes. Who’s the mystery man in the white suit and why won’t he leave Galt alone? What’s his connection to the big money boys on the Upper East Side? Galt’s no Marlowe. Without his loyal gal Friday (Lucille Ball), he wouldn’t make it out from behind the 8-ball alive. "I’m backed up in a dark corner," he grouses, "and I don’t know who’s hitting me." Co-starring Clifton Webb, William Bendix. [35mm]
