Waterfront Noir Double Feature: New 35mm Print! SLAUGHTER ON TENTH AVENUE, 1956, 103 min. An upstart district attorney (Richard Egan) tries to crack the New York waterfront’s mob-enforced code of silence and mete out justice for a murdered whistleblower. [35mm] EDGE OF THE CITY, 1957, 85 min. Another gritty exploration of life on the Manhattan docks that’s also a powerful look at 1950s race relations.
