Happy 100th Birthday Robert Mitchum! The Friends of Eddie Coyle

August 6, 2017 @ 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Don’t miss this new 4k transfer of a classic noir! Long unavailable in anything but the rarest archival prints, The Hollywood is thrilled to show this brand new digital print taken from the recent Criterion Collection restoration. And we’re screening it on what would have been Robert Mitchum’s 100th birthday!

In one of the best performances of his legendary career, Robert Mitchum plays small-time gunrunner Eddie “Fingers” Coyle in an adaptation by Peter Yates of George V. Higgins’s acclaimed novel The Friends of Eddie Coyle. World-weary and living hand to mouth, Coyle works on the sidelines of the seedy Boston underworld just to make ends meet. But when he finds himself facing a second stretch of hard time, he’s forced to weigh loyalty to his criminal colleagues against snitching to stay free. Directed with a sharp eye for its gritty locales and an open heart for its less-than-heroic characters, this is one of the true treasures of 1970s Hollywood filmmaking—a suspenseful crime drama in stark, unforgiving daylight
