Night and the City: Film Noir

HUMAN DESIRE

United States | 1954 | Fritz Lang

HUMAN DESIRE film still

Fritz Lang re-cast his Big Heat co-stars Glenn Ford and Gloria Grahame in this moody, muscular American update of Zola’s La Bête Humaine (The Human Beast). Then he added Broderick Crawford to the sordid, fatalistic mix. Set among train workers toiling in stark, steely railyards, the film follows a Korean war vet who is lured into a married couple’s web of jealousy, adultery, and murder. DCP. 91 min.

Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8. No passes or twofers.
