<spoilers>He was blow out the cargo door at impact.anyway today....Dark City(1950) Dir by William DieterleBad luck begets bad blood when desperate GI Arthur Winant (Don DeFore) gets taken by grifter Danny Haley (Charlton Heston) and his cronies and hangs himself, launching unseen brother Sidney (Mike Mazurki) on a table-turning vendetta against which Haley alone has a shadow of a chance. With chanteuse girlfriend Fran Garland (Lizabeth Scott) as his beacon, the hunted sets out to uncover his hunter -- and reckons with his own misdeeds along the way. Just a bit too draggy, with a lot of rear projected processed shots, Heston's debut film also has Jack Webb and Harry Morgan as a punch drunk flunky. 6.5/10
Muller's festival this year will be comprised of foreign filmshttps://datebook.sfchronicle.com/movies-tv/sf-film-noir-fest-proves-darkness-descends-on-the-entire-world-of-cinema
He's desperate. There are no more films noir to discover and present, so he has to look for films abroad and re-brand them. I like Muller, and I've met him a couple times, but he's a hustler.
As he explained when he came to MoMA one year, he's like a visiting mafioso in the Big Apple. The local capos will let him bring a few pictures in, but he can't run a full-fledged festival. If the capos want a festival, they'll run it themselves.
who are the capos?
The MoMA guys, The Lincoln Center mob, etc.
