Cinematheque: The Big Clock - Joe Dante in person

Ruthless publisher Earl Janoth (Laughton) murders his mistress and assigns his top editor, George Stroud, (Milland) to solve the crime. Realizing he's being framed, George has to cover up evidence that points to him while racing time to uncover the true culprit. A great thriller with noir-ish touches, The Big Clock is one of Dante's "favorite pictures. Clever, witty, and entertaining as hell!" Joe Dante will talk about The Big Clock and his cinephilia in post-screening discussion.
