Just added: writer / director Larry Cohen will join us IN PERSON, schedule permitting, to introduce his film The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover.
Cult film icon Larry Cohen (God Told Me To, The Stuff) wrote, produced and directed The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover, luridly chronically over forty years in the life of the vindictive, long-running head of the FBI, from his racket-busting days during the Prohibition to his reign under eight presidents, with blackmail, retribution and homosexuality along the way. It’s a potent mix of fact and fiction told in a semi-documentary style, featuring a huge cast of recognizable faces, including Broderick Crawford as Hoover and Michael Parks as Robert F. Kennedy, plus José Ferrer, Rip Torn, Dan Dailey, Celeste Holm, Ronee Blakley, Howard Da Silva, Raymond St. Jacques and many more.
“The motion picture industry’s first historical horror story.” – Variety
