It’s The Fabulous Fifties On LRPA After Dark
During The Month Of July
This Weekend’s Feature: 1953’s “The Limping Man”
Throughout July, Lakes Region Public Access Television will
feature four films from the fabulous 50’s, a decade known in
cinema, for many things, including the end of the Hollywood
musical; the “Red Scare” and blacklisting of screenwriters; film
noir standouts; and Cold War/atomic panic. Join us each Friday
and Saturday night at 10:30 p.m. as we salute this remarkable
decade. This weekend (July 13 & 14) we’ll show 1953’s rarely
seen British noir-ish crime drama The Limping Man, starring
Lloyd Bridges, Moira Lister and Alan Wheatley. This film was
directed by American screenwriter and author Cy Endfield under
the pseudonym of “Charles de Lautour.” Endfield was an associate
of Orson Welles and worked with him at Mercury Productions. In
1951, Endfield was named as a Communist by the House Un-American
Activities Committee. After being blacklisted in Hollywood,
Endfield moved to Britain and continued to work on films, many
of which were noir-ish in nature. His most famous film may be
the 1964 British war saga “Zulu.” Of “The Limping Man,” a
reviewer wrote: “This film has more twists and turns than a
roller coaster – and you’ll love every minute of it!” So grab
your popcorn and meet us after dark for this surprising noir
thriller crime thriller from the past.
Mark your calendars for all of July’s Fabulous Fifties Films:
