The Empress Theater presents the "Czar of Noir" himself, Eddie Muller, author and host of TCM’s weekly “Noir Alley” for a special one night only event! The evening begins with cocktails in the Empress Lounge and a book-signing featuring Muller’s latest releases, presented by the Alibi Bookshop. Eddie will then be joined onstage in conversation by musician-historian Nick Rossi at the Empress, discussing the dark world of Film Noir before introducing the feature film “Pitfall.”

In this 1948 noir classic, a married man's life runs off the rails when he has an affair with a beautiful model, igniting the jealousy of the psychotic private eye who's stalking her. Dick Powell, Lizabeth Scott, and Vallejo’s own Raymond Burr co-star. Join us for the film's 75th anniversary!
