    As the fall turns to winter, we bring the films of the great director and Wisconsin native Nicholas Ray (1911-1979) with a particular focus on his work in the 1950s, his most productive decade. Fearlessly crossing genres from picture to picture, Ray’s work of this period expressed a common theme of humankind’s malcontent with his surroundings (particularly that of teenagers) emboldened by expressionist photography and often a tumultuous rise to a crashing resolve. A maverick long before the cheapening of the word, Nicolas Ray’s defiant (some say narcissistic) work ethic often pitted him against his studio heads yet produced some of the most electric work of the time.

    BITTER VICTORY (1958)
    British army captain Leith (Richard Burton) is handed a mission that may prove to be his most difficult yet: He must partner up with fellow military officer Brand (Curd Jürgens), with whom he doesn't get along, to steal top secret documents from a Nazi group in Libya. Complicating matters further is Leith's relationship with Brand's wife (Ruth Roman), with whom Leith once had a torrid love affair, ratcheting up the tension between them. Aided by Ray’s inspired direction and Gavin Lampert’s taut screenplay, BITTER VICTORY is a searingly honest portrayal of two men engaged in a psychological duel. 1958, NR, 82min, 35mm
