Nash the Slash Rises Again!

Synopsis:


Blackbyrd Myoozik Calgary Presents: Nash the Slash Rises Again! (2025)

Nash the Slash Rises Again! uncovers the origin story of the sinister, masked Canadian electronic music innovator who took his name from the killer butler in a 1927 Laurel and Hardy silent film. A classically trained violinist and multi-instrumentalist, Nash fused prog rock, punk, classic rock, and psychedelia with techno and industrial - long before those genres even had names. 

The new film Nash the Slash Rises Again!  unwinds the bandages of a ground-breaking, mad musical scientist whose career decomposed before the world caught up.

The Letter - Poster

The Letter

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: The Letter (1940)


“With all my heart, I still love the man I killed.”

The Letter begins with a bang — literally — as Bette Davis’ character guns down a man in seemingly cold blood on a rubber plantation in Malaysia. Charged with murder, she shockingly pleads self-defense, and the drama shifts to a mysterious letter that may hold the key to the truth of the crime. 

Based on a play by W. Somerset Maugham and shot on atmospheric soundstages that frame an exotic and enigmatic view of the Orient, The Letter delivers one unexpected plot twist after another. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture. William Wyler directs a fiery Davis in one of her most engrossing and iconic performances.


Genre: Drama, Crime

Director: William Wyler  
Stars: Bette Davis, Herbert Marshall, James Stephenson             
Running time: 1 hr 35 min

A Woman's Face

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: A Woman's Face (1941)


What is the price and worth of a person if not beauty? George Cukor and Joan Crawford answer this question in A Woman’s Face, a crime film noir drama that showcases Crawford’s dramatic abilities after years of largely mediocre roles. Crawford stars as Anna Holm, a terribly disfigured Swedish woman and small-time criminal in Stockholm. 

Unexpectedly, she receives a miracle: Anna’s scarred face is restored to perfect beauty with cutting-edge surgical techniques. As she navigates her new lease on life and the possibilities that come with beauty, her past returns to haunt her. Her old friend Torsten (Conrad Veidt, in a scene-stealing performance) manipulates Anna into a final scheme that may destroy them both.

Utilizing Cukor’s expert direction and Crawford’s star persona and newly showcased acting gifts, A Woman’s Face remains an under-seen gem of 1940s Hollywood cinema.


Genre: Drama, Thriller

Director: George Cukor  
Stars: Joan Crawford, Melvyn Douglas, Conrad Veidt             
Running time: 1 hr 46 min

Now, Voyager

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Now, Voyager (1942)


“Oh, Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon. We have the stars!”

The “Women’s Picture” genre of the 1940s reaches its wish-fulfillment pinnacle in Now, Voyager. Bette Davis gives a performance for the ages as Charlotte Vale, a mentally frail spinster living under the thumb of her domineering mother (Gladys Cooper). Through therapy with a kindly doctor (Claude Rains) and a cruise to South America, Charlotte discovers her true self. Her newfound confidence attracts Jerry (Paul Henreid), and the two begin a passionate affair. Jerry, however, is married, and Charlotte must choose between love and her own liberation.

Now, Voyager proved why Davis was considered the queen of the Warner Bros. studio lot. Nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress Oscars, it won Best Original Score at the 1943 ceremony for Max Steiner’s memorable music.


Genre: Drama, Romance

Director: Irving Rapper  
Stars: Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? - Poster

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)


The most representative film of the “hag-sploitation” genre, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? famously cast two old-school divas, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, in what became a classic psychological horror thriller. Former child star Baby Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) lives with her sister Blanche (Joan Crawford), a former Hollywood queen. Bound by mutual love and hate, Baby Jane’s increasing madness leads to shocking consequences.

Astutely directed by Robert Aldrich and featuring two once A-list actresses in roles that both exploit and celebrate their legacies, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is a must-see for any serious film fan. It was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Actress.


Genre: Drama, Horror

Director: Robert Aldrich  
Stars: Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Victor Buono                 
Running time: 2 hr 14 min 
Rating: PG
