Blast of Silence (1961)

Join SECRET BASE CINEMA for the neo-noir psychological portrait of a hit-man, set amidst the wintery cityscape of crime filled New York during the holiday season - a perfect choice for their December pick at the MARIEMONT, Thursday, December 11th. About the film: This engrossing independent production from late in the classic noir era, shot entirely in New York, tracks a stoic hired killer from Cleveland (played by director Allen Baron himself, who also wrote the script) returning to his home turf for what’s meant to be a quick, efficient assignment. Fate, guilt, a special girl from his past and a gun dealer with pet rats get in his way. Like Kubrick’s THE KILLING and Wendkos’ THE BURGLAR, this film represents the transition from studio noir to independently produced “neo-noir.”CrimePT1H17M2025-12-11
