Lenny Zapala – film expert and Director of the Menands Library – returns this summer and fall to host a Lizabeth Scott, Queen of Noir film series. Many of Hollywood’s best actresses have given brilliant performances as noir heroines; however, only one actress seemed to be made of noir and noir only – Lizabeth Scott.  Of the twenty-two films she starred in from 1945 to 1961 fifteen were crime related or full-fledged noir. Superstardom was not in the cards for Ms. Scott in other film genres but she did leave an indelible mark on Film Noir. Tuesdays at 6:00 PM. Don’t forget Lenny’s introductions and after comments!

The lineup:
June 11: The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946)
July 23: Dead Reckoning (1947)
August 20: Pitfall (1948)
September 10: Too Late For Tears (1949)
October 22: Dark City (1950).
