Held in the Auditorium. Tracey Snelling’s “Woman on the Run,” on view in the Upper-Level Galleries from September 9, 2011, through February 5, 2012, provides a film-noir-like setting for a crime story in which the mysterious Veronica Hayden is sought for questioning in her husband’s murder. Viewers of Snelling’s installation play the part of witness, actor, and detective, and are charged with figuring out of what type of woman Veronica Hayden really is. Inspired by this constructed alternate world, the Frist Center has planned a five-part film series exploring femme fatales and their identities: are they are heroines, duplicitous dames, or something in-between?

About the film:
Walter Neff, an insurance agent, and Phyllis Dietrichson, a greedy blonde bombshell, plot to bump off Phyllis’ husband and collect the premiums. Leaving behind the standard New York setting of lower-class crime, this definitive film-noir of the 1940s takes place in a California of shady streets, supermarkets, and stucco houses. Stars Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck. Directed by Billy Wilder, 1944. 107 minutes. 35mm. Not rated.
