Hoyts Esquire Theatre 238 Bourke Street, Melbourne, VIC - 1956

Kiss me deadly *

Andrew Nette writes on his website Pulp Curry - Kiss Me Deadly opened at the Esquire Theatre 1956. The end was nigh for classical noir and for this type of theatrical programming. But with this film it went out with a blast and in a mainstream cinema, and as a top-billed item. They way they almost always were in Melbourne. The collective nostalgia of back street cinemas and noirs hidden away at the bottom of the bill were, in this city at least, a myth. But the actual nostalgia is just as rich and just as rewarding - Contributed by Greg Lynch -
