🔥 A roadside nightclub. A dangerous attraction. And a love triangle headed for trouble.

On Sunday, August 23, the Ojai Art Center Film Branch presents Road House (1948), a sultry film noir where jealousy, obsession, and desire take center stage.

Ida Lupino stars as Lily Stevens, a tough, independent nightclub singer who arrives at a remote roadhouse and quickly attracts the attention of its volatile owner. But when she falls for his best friend instead, romantic rivalry takes a dark and dangerous turn.

With Lupino’s smoky performance, a menacing Richard Widmark, and plenty of simmering tension, Road House serves up a different flavor of noir—part romance, part psychological thriller, and all trouble. 🖤
