Join us in person for our screenings of great movies that did not win an Oscar or even get a nomination. Touch of Evil (1958) Critics really did not get this film when it came out. Only in the 90s did it earn its reputation as one of Welles' best and most innovative movies. He did not direct another major film within the studio system. Directed by Orson Welles. Starring Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh and Orson Welles. Other films in this series: January 17th: Rear Window (1954) Considered by many to be Hitchcock's best, Rear Window was not even nominated for Best Picture, nor did any of the cast receive a nod. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Raymond Burr and Thelma Ritter. January 24th: Singin' in the Rain (1952) Released the year after another Gene Kelly musical (An American in Paris) cleaned up at the Oscars, this classic, ahead of its time in many ways, received only two nominations and no wins. Directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen. Starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds. More Info below.
