Kennington Noir Presents; Somewhere In The Night Weds March 15th @ 7:30pm
A soldier returns from WWII with his memory playing tricks on him. Drifting up out of coma in a military hospital, he can’t figure out why everybody calls him George Taylor. Only two letters offer clues to who he is: one from a vindictive girl he ditched, the other apparently from an old pal, Larry Cravat. Without much to go on, he heads to Los Angeles to track down Cravat. But as he skulks through the city’s dark demimonde (Turkish baths, mobbed-up nightclubs, phony spiritualist parlors, insane asylums), he’s quick to learn that other people don’t want Cravat found. Yet he finds allies in club canary Nancy Guild, her boss Richard Conte, and police detective Lloyd Nolan. He also finds that the reason for all the violence unleashed against and around him is $2 million in missing Nazi money. Cravat proves both elusive and uncomfortably close…
With a supporting programme and a short intro from Kulraj Phullar, lecturer in film noir from King’s College London.
