Film Details

We return to the Capitol Theatre (W. 65th & Detroit Ave.) for the first time in four years to present a new restoration of perhaps the only classic film noir shot in 3-D! I, the Jury marked the screen debut of Mickey Spillane’s brutal private eye Mike Hammer, who here spends the Christmas holiday tracking down the mysterious killer of his best friend. Hammer’s relentless pursuit takes him into the rarefied worlds of art collecting and psychoanalysis, and a series of seductive dames becomes the trail of bread crumbs leading him to his quarry. I, the Jury was photographed by the great noir cinematographer John Alton, and includes some stunning shots inside L.A.’s iconic Bradbury Building (also featured in Blade Runner). “[There’s] nary a ‘politically correct’ moment in the film’s 87 minutes.” –Hal Erickson, AllMovie. With Biff Elliot, Preston Foster, and Peggie Castle. Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 87 min.
