\nThe American Cinematheque<\/em> is holding the 10th annual festival of Film Noir, Return to Noir City<\/em>. This Thursady April 17th at 7:30 they’re screening two rare gems starring the late, great Steve Cochran. Tomorrow Is Another Day<\/em> Felix Feist’a masterpiece featuring a delicious performance by Ruth Roman and Highway 301<\/em>, Andrew L. Stone’s early location crime feature, one of the first, “docu-thrillers” shot on real locations in a quasi documentary style.
\n Cochran is probably best remembered as Big Ed Somers, the double crossing henchman in White Heat<\/em>. But this cowboy from Wyoming made it over to Italy to star in Michelangelo Antonioni’s Il Grido<\/em> as well! <\/p>\n

Il Grido<\/em>
\nHe is also reputed to have been hired as a pipe layer by Mae West and later heated up the screen and the dressing room with Mamie Van Doren. Cochran died under mysterious circumstances, he set out on a sailboat with 6 women, none of the women knew how to sail, Cochran keeled over from a coronary and the boat was found drifting off the coast of Mexico, the women had to be rescued after floating around with Steve’s corpse for a week! He’s a legendary character with a powerful screen presence. Check out this double bill, I sure as hell will!<\/p>\n
