Welcome! The lobby of the Deranged L.A. Crimes theater is open. Grab a bucket of popcorn, some Milk Duds and a Coke and find a seat.
Today’s feature is ROAD HOUSE starring Ida Lupino, Cornel Wilde, Richard Widmark, and Celeste Holm.
IMDB says:
At a seedy nightclub and bowling alley near the Canadian border, owner Jefty Robbins (Richard Widmark) is in love with his new cabaret singer, Lily Stevens (Ida Lupino), who only has eyes for Jefty’s best friend, bar manager Pete Morgan (Cornel Wilde). Although he tries to keep his distance, Pete soon falls for Lily’s charms. But when the couple tries to run away together, Jefty and jealous cashier Susie Smith (Celeste Holm) conspire to frame them for a crime they didn’t commit.
Enjoy the movie!
Came across this blog during tonight’s episode of Snapped (researching if you were related to James Renner). Anyway, found this and got happily sidetracked! Such great content. I’ve been a fan of your work for years. Keep up the great work!
Hi Karin,
Unfortunately, I am not related to James Renner or Jeremy Renner. I’m glad you found me!

Have not heard from you in a while. Hope you’re in good health.
Have seen many film noirs; never this one. Ida Lupino was so talented. Good pic.
