Tonight's Noir Night at the Hiway Theater in Jenkintown, PA, and I'm proud to be presenting Hickey & Boggs, the downbeat Robert Culp/Bill Cosby thriller from 1972. Sadly, the print the Hiway tracked down was in seriously poor shape, so they'll be showing a digital copy instead. (If it's anything like the copy I found on iTunes, it'll be just fine.) I'll be talking about the movie a little, and signing copies of Expiration Date before and after the showing. And after all of that, there's talk of drinking at the nearby VFW post, which only seems appropriate.So stop by if you're anywhere near Jenkintown this evening, especially if you've never had the pleasure of watching Hickey & Boggs. The fun starts at 8 p.m.; admission is $10, but only $5 for Hiway members.

I've never seen Hickey & Boggs, but it looks like a cool flick. It appears to be out of print, but it's available on Amazon's video on demand, so I may check it out this weekend.
John D: it's a great neo-noir, highly underrated, and directed by the late-Robert Culp. Three good reasons to see it, IMO.
Duane: I hope this event went well. Thanks for keeping this film in the forefront.
Duane:
This is one awesome mf-ing movie. G. Phillips and I talk occasionally about breaking into Walter Hill's crib and forcing him by any means necessary to give us a free option on this film so we can remake before some idiot does and totally screws it up.
Of course, I STILL don't really understand what it's about, but who really does? Did Culp?
Gar, I'm with you. Last week's screening was the fourth time I've watched H&B, and I'm still not entirely clear on what Quemando's woman was trying to do.
