The Man I Love
Leaving January 31
•
1h 36m
Directed by Raoul Walsh • 1946 • United States
Starring Ida Lupino, Robert Alda, Andrea King
Bathed in a downbeat noir mood and smoky jazz-lounge atmosphere, this haunting melodrama stars Ida Lupino as husky-voiced singer Petey Brown, who takes a job performing in a divey nightclub. She’s carrying a torch for the piano player (Bruce Bennett), but her sleazy mobster boss (Robert Alda) wants her for himself—and will kill to have her. This gem from director Raoul Walsh provided the inspiration for Martin Scorsese’s musical homage NEW YORK, NEW YORK.
