A film noir set in Los Angeles, The Prowler was director Joseph Losey's most successful American film before he was blacklisted and emigrated to Europe.

The story involves a calculating cop who upends a neglected housewife's life after he responds to her call about a peeping tom. Other Losey films include The Boy with Green Hair (1948) and The Go-Between (1970), a classic tale of tension between the classes staring Julie Christie and Alan Bates. (92 mins., 35mm)

A gothic melodrama from Fritz Lang's Hollywood years, The Secret Beyond the Door follows a recently married young woman who fears her husband is trying to drive her insane. The film reflects the popularity of Freudian psychoanalysis in the 1940s. Lang's career began in Weimar, Germany, where he made such unforgettable films as M and Metropolis. Other works from his time in America include Fury and The Big Heat. (99 mins., 35mm)
