Double Feature: SHOCK CORRIDOR, 1963, Ben Barry & Association, 101 min. Dir. Sam Fuller. A Pulitzer Prize-hungry journalist (Peter Breck) goes undercover in a mental institution with hopes of solving a murder case…but as the environment overtakes him, his insanity becomes more than an act. Preservation funded by the Film Foundation and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. FORTY GUNS, 1957, 20th Century Fox, 79 min. Dir. Sam Fuller.
