- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: FORCE OF EVIL w/ intro by Silver Spring-based author, producer and screenwriter George Pelecanos

One of the most distinctive works of the original film noir era, Abraham Polonsky’s directorial debut is an exposé of the New York numbers racket and a riveting tale of a fallen man (John Garfield, in one of his best roles) and his search for his soul. Stylized art direction from seven-time Oscar® winner Richard Day complements vivid New York location footage. Featuring an evocative score by David Raksin and memorable performances by Thomas Gomez, Marie Windsor and Roy Roberts, the film is innovative and superlative in every respect.
