  Underworld. \n	\n	\n	Crime Without Passion \n	\n	Dirs. Ben Hecht\, Charle
 s MacArthur. 1934\, 70 mins. 35mm. With Claude Rains\, Whitney Bourne\, Ma
 rgo. The first of four films written\, produced\, and directed by Hecht an
 d his partner Charles MacArthur for Paramount Pictures focuses on amoral d
 efense attorney Claude Rains\, who has no conscience to interfere with his
  plans to get free of his mistress (Margo)\, though this will not save him
  from a flock of vengeful Furies\, realized through the genius of montage 
 master Slavko Vorkapich. Made with minimal interference from the studio an
 d shot right here in Astoria by gifted cinematographer Lee Garmes\, it bec
 ame a surprise hit\, and helped assure Hecht and MacArthur’s independence.
  \n\n\n	Followed by: \n\n\n	The Scoundrel \n	\n	   Dirs. Ben Hecht\, Charl
 es MacArthur. 1935\, 76 mins. 35mm. With Noël Coward\, Julie Haydon\, Stan
 ley Ridges. The film debut of Noël Coward and the first and last movie to 
 feature a performance by Algonquin Round Table mainstay Alexander Woollcot
 t\, Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s urbane\, Astoria-shot take on the Dicken
 sian supernatural morality tale features Coward as a recently deceased and
  widely detested publisher and sybarite who\, following his plane crash\, 
 has to posthumously hit the streets of New York looking for someone\, anyo
 ne\, who regrets his demise. A peerless evocation of the tart-tongued\, ba
 ckbiting world of the New York literati by two members in good standing\, 
 The Scoundrel earned Hecht his second and final Oscar for Best Original St
 ory.&nbsp\; \n\n\nTickets: $15 ($11 seniors and students / $9 youth (ages
