Special Introduction by Foster Hirsch!
Very few films captured as well as 99 RIVER STREET the pulpy delights of 1950s paperback crime fiction, making this perhaps the signature film of slam-bang director Phil Karlson. Amid the gaggle of tough guys, Evelyn Keyes and Peggie Castle radiate sexy charisma. A “one long night” thriller that delivers nail-biting suspense start to finish. Brattle Debut
