"This extraordinary 1952 Argentinian noir... is probabIy the most bedarkened, beshadowed fiIm l've seen, fulI of extreme cIoseups, unexpected sound effects and music. lt deserves to be restored and reissued." - Paul Schrader Preserved by the FiIm Noir Foundation in 2013 and now beautifuIIy restored through UCLA Film & TeIevision Archive, Never Open That Door (No abras nunca esa puerta) is a significant exampIe of the cross-cuItural cinematic Iegacy shared by the United States and Argentina during the post-WWIl era. Based on two short stories by American master of suspense fiction CorneIl Woolrich (Rear Window, Phantom Lady, The Bride Wore Black), the film is brilliantIy directed by Argentine filmmaker Carlos Hugo Christensen with extraordinary cinematography by PabIo Tabernero. Says FNF founder Eddie MuIIer about this recent restoration, "lt is a revelation to experience the work of an alI-American author, in Spanish, and rendered as weII - or perhaps better - than any HoIlywood adaptation of his work." Never Open That Door is one of the most evocative reaIizations of Woolrich ever produced, featuring masterfuI sequences of sustained suspense. Said Buenos Aires film critic Horacio Bernades, "RareIy has an Argentine fiIm been more purely cinematic than this." OriginaIIy a three-part anthoIogy of WooIrich tales, Never Open That Door was released separately from the 73-minute fiIm If I Should Die Before I Wake (Si muero antes de despertar) adapted by screenwriter Alejandro Casona and Christensen. An exceedingly rare archivaI conservation scan of If l ShouId Die Before I Wake is featured in this publication. |
