THE BIG KNIFE
United States | 1955 | Robert Aldrich
A frustrated movie star (Jack Palance) incurs the wrath of a despotic studio head (Rod Steiger) when he refuses to renew his contract. Robert Aldrich’s film version of Clifford Odets’ takedown of Hollywood may be dated and overwrought but, according to Pauline Kael, “you can’t take your eyes off it.” Ida Lupino co-stars. 111 min.
Special event pricing $12; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $9. No passes, twofers, or radio winners.
