Swashbucklers

Archival presentations include a film noir double feature hosted by Eddie Muller (who promises a brand spanking new 35mm print of the brilliant The Big Combo), four classic swashbucklers from the golden age of Hollywood, the 1933 hit comedy Tugboat Annie (which was shot in Seattle's Pike Place), and a couple of rare silent presentations: the 1919 A Sentimental Bloke from Australia and the noir-ish A Cottage on Dartmoor, directed by Anthony Asquith. ❋ Unknown (2007)
