The pioneer of androgyny, her bold, sexual tease behind the haute couture gender switching was designed to be both titilating and subversive. A revolutionary who ate men for breakfast, and women for dessert. In Blonde Venus she plays Helen Faraday, a nightclub singer turned housewife who, when her husband gets sick and needs money for a life changing operation in Europe, resumes her singing career to raise the cash. It is during this time she meets and becomes the mistress of a rich playboy (Cary Grant) who offers to pay the husband's hospital bills... Reserved tickets £10.02 available from Eventbrite. Tickets will also be available on the door on the night. Kennington Noir presents The Prowler (1951) Wed 20 March 2019 @ 7.30pm Californian housewife Susan Gilvray (Evelyn Keyes) finds a prowler outside her house late one night and she calls the police. Officer Webb Garwood (Van Heflin) and his partner answer the call but do not find anyone. Later, Webb returns to Susan’s house with the pretext of checking if everything is OK... Joe Losey made this noir, with some quite racy content for 1951, in America before moving to Europe in 1953 to avoid the HUAC witch hunts. Tickets £6.
