Join us for WNP Film Club’s August screening: The Man Who Cheated Himself (1950). In this crime drama, the relationship of SFPD detectives and brothers Ed Cullen (Lee J. Cobb) and Andy Cullen (John Dall) is tested when they work a murder case…committed by Ed’s girlfriend (Jane Wyatt). All the classic noir trappings are present!

WNP Film Club is a 4 Star Theater series brought to you by Western Neighborhoods Project, your friendly community history nonprofit, in partnership with Bay Area Movies and CinemaSF. Join us in celebrating movies filmed on location in San Francisco, with an emphasis on the west side. Each screening will feature an introduction by WNP’s resident film buffs, John Martini and Chelsea Sellin, who will share some background about the film and featured locations, including “now and then” comparisons using historical images from the OpenSFHistory photo archive. Optional Extra Credit: stick around after to unpack the movie with John and Chelsea and indulge your inner film nerd.

You won’t want to miss the film’s thrilling climactic scene at Fort Point! The program begins at 7:00pm on Thursday, August 14. Tickets sales support both WNP and the 4 Star Theater!
