AFS Presents: THE NAKED DAWN

François Truffaut called this Edgar G. Ulmer Technicolor western “a small gift from Hollywood” and said that “every shot shows the love of cinema.” A good bad man (Arthur Kennedy) takes a break between heists to help a poor family. In 35mm.

The 10/24 screening will be introduced by Noah Isenberg, the George Christian Centennial Professor and Chair of University of Texas at Austin’s Radio-Television-Film department, and author of the critical biography “Edgar G. Ulmer: A Filmmaker at the Margins.”
