AirTalk’s FilmWeek Screening "Double Indemnity"
- Vidiots, 4884 Eagle Rock Blvd., Eagle Rock
Join us for our first in-person FilmWeek screening since 2019! This series is curated and hosted by AirTalk host Larry Mantle and puts the spotlight on films set in Southern California. This time, Larry has chosen the noir classic, “Double Indemnity” (1944). Set in Los Angeles, the film features Barbara Stanwyick as a wicked femme fatale and has been described as “one of the most entertainingly perverse stories ever told and the standard by which all noir must be measured.” Afterwards, Larry will host a discussion about the film with FilmWeek critic Claudia Puig and the co-authors of the new book, “From the Moment They Met It Was Murder: Double Indemnity and the Rise of Film Noir,” Alain Silver and James Ursini. You can purchase a copy of the book from Flintridge Bookstore who will be onsite before the event.
We’re excited to present this screening in partnership with Vidiots at their Eagle Theatre.
FilmWeek can be heard on LAist 89.3 every Friday at 10 a.m.
