I haven't managed to catch any of these yet (nor the documentary) but
they are showing six films in all over the course of this weekend, all
of which will be available online to those with access to content in the
BBC iPlayer. Here's a list of the films:
*
* Farewell My Lovely (1944)
The Lady From Shanghai (1948)
The Big Combo (1955)
Force of Evil (1948)
Build My Gallows High (1947)
Stranger on the Third Floor (1940)
