Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 62<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Thursday, March 7th, the Roxie Theater in San Francisco is going to be presenting a tribute to Ann’s frequent co-star Lyle Talbot<\/a>, with the double feature Fog Over Frisco<\/em> and Heat Lightning<\/em>. Talbot’s daughter Margaret will be on hand to introduce the films and talk about her recently released (and excellent) book, The Entertainer: Movies, Magic, and My Father’s Twentieth Century. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you already know how much I love Heat Lightning<\/em><\/a>.<\/strong> Ann’s role is supporting, but it’s a strong part, and the film overall is a compact and snappy pre-Code gem.

Unfortunately, this one is playing a bit too far out of my zip code, but if you’re in the Bay Area, it sounds like a memorable evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
