Marilyn Monroe 1926-1962
Niagara will be the second film screened in a double bill at the Redford Theatre in Detroit on September 21, starting with Trapped (1949) at 2 pm. It’s part of a weekend-long festival, ‘Noir in the 50s‘, hosted by Noir City magazine.
Marilyn is the latest cover girl for Noir City, a digital quarterly published by the Film Noir Foundation. Inside, there’s an eight-page illustrated article, with Jake Hinkson analysing her diverse roles in The Asphalt Jungle, Clash by Night, Don’t Bother to Knock and Niagara. Fellow bombshells Diana Dors and Gloria Grahame are also profiled in this issue.

Don’t Bother to Knock screens twice at the Seattle International Film Festival Cinema today, at 4pm and 9.30 pm, in a double bill with the 1947 thriller, They Won’t Believe Me. Part of the ‘Noir City’ festival, and linked to a recurring noir theme, ‘Who’s Crazy Now?’
