Inwood Library Film Screening “Crossfire” (1947)
Crossfire (1947) returns to the screen as one of Hollywood’s earliest and boldest film noirs to confront hatred head-on. Set in the tense aftermath of World War II, the story unravels when a murder investigation exposes the darker undercurrents lurking beneath the surface of everyday life — prejudice, violence, and the psychological scars carried by soldiers returning home. With sharp dialogue, shadow-soaked cinematography, and a cast led by Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan, and Gloria Grahame, the film pushes past the conventions of its era to deliver a gripping social thriller.
Join us for a rare free screening of this atmospheric classic and experience a noir that still hits with surprising emotional force.
