update... RUTHLESS in restored 35mm print at UCLA

We reviewed Edgar G. Ulmer's RUTHLESS below from a very worn-out 16mm printdown, and are now pleased to report that the film will screen, fully restored and preserved, on Saturday April 18 in Los Angeles, during UCLA Film and Television Archive's 14th Festival of Preservation. Among the treats at this year's festival are a THE NAKED EYE (March 26), Emile De Antonio's essential document of the 1954 Army-McCarthy Hearings, POINT OF ORDER (April 3) and much more. Opening weekend showcased a fantastic restoration of John Cassavetes' A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, which concluded with a great panel discussion with cinematographer Mike Ferris, actors Lelia Goldoni and Seymour Cassel and others. The work of UCLA in preserving cinema history is absolutely essential - go and support this series.
