Robert “Bob” Rosen, founding director of the UCLA Film & Television Archive and former dean of the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, passed away in late 2024. A titan of the film community, Bob was an archivist, scholar, educator and critic. Bob elevated the field of archiving by championing, training and advocating for the preservation of moving image media in all forms, from classic Hollywood to independent productions. Among his many leadership roles, he served on the National Film Preservation Board for over two decades and played a crucial role in the formation of The Film Foundation. In his 2012 oral history(opens in a new tab) with the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), Bob shared: “The UCLA Film & Television Archive’s success in building one of the world’s largest collections and in establishing top-notch programs in preservation, programming and access was the result first and foremost of an extraordinarily dedicated staff. If I take any personal credit at all for our growth, it was in nurturing a sense of mission, determination and common purpose. Nothing, I thought, was impossible.” With advocacy, passion and an indomitable spirit, Robert Rosen played a pivotal role in transforming the institution into what it is today — a world-class archive with an incredible team and unparalleled reputation. In this evening’s program, we remember Bob’s impact and thank him for making the impossible possible. Kiss Me Deadly U.S., 1955 In adapting Mickey Spillane’s hard-boiled novel, director Robert Aldrich and screenwriter A.I. Bezzerides were deeply suspicious of the fascist impluses driving Spillane’s two-fisted detective, Mike Hammer. In their Kiss Me Deadly, Hammer (Ralph Meeker) smashes his way across Los Angeles battling a mysterious “They” in pursuit of “the great whatsit.” Leaving a trail of bodies and bruises in his wake, Hammer is barely cognizant of the apocalyptic forces his bull-headed narcissism threatens to unleash. An atomic age noir that feels liable to combust itself from first shocking shot to last, Kiss Me Deadly still plays like a red-light warning for perilous times. DCP, b&w, 106 min. Director: Robert Aldrich. Screenwriter: A.I. Bezzerides. With: Ralph Meeker, Albert Dekker, Paul Stewart. Location: Billy Wilder Theater

The performance will include light staging and an ensemble of period instrumentalists. Admission is free with advance registration! Location: UCLA William Andrews Clark Memorial Library

An ex-con released from prison for a crime he didn't commit wants revenge for those iniquitous stolen best years of his life. Set in Los Angeles, this noir thriller stars Dick Powell as fast-paced, fresh-talking wise guy Rocky Mulloy along with Rhonda Fleming, Richard Erdman and William Conrad. Written by William Bowers of Split Second and The Mob, both equally great noir films. Robert Parrish made his directorial debut, taking a break from film editing and acting. The dialogue and shots elevate this pulp fiction, with Powell on the prowl with witty, smart zingers. 35mm, b&w, 79 min. Director: Robert Parrish. Screenwriter: William Bowers. With: Dick Powell, Rhoda Fleming, Richard Erdman, William Conrad. Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Hammer Museum In-person: director Lisa Hurwitz, chef and restaurateur Alice Waters. Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. The Merry Cafe U.S., 1936 Soon after a hungry Krazy Kat enters the “The Eato-mat Restaurant,” inspired by the famous Automat, the place comes alive with singing and dancing food. 16mm, b&w, 7 min. Directors: Manny Gould, Ben Harrison. Screenwriters: Allen Rose, George Herriman. The Automat U.S., 2021 Director Lisa Hurwitz’s documentary on the Automat brims with nostalgia for the fabled restaurant chain founded in 1902 and known for its iconic method of service. A chief booster, Mel Brooks wistfully recalls its famed five-cent cup of coffee and strawberry rhubarb pie, drawn from a behind windowed, coin-operated door. In its heyday, Automats in Philadelphia and New York served over 800,000 people a day but each ornately designed location felt decidedly local. Hurwitz’s extensive interviews make the case that along with fresh-made meals, Automats served up a sense of community, optimism and egalitarianism, qualities lost in our current fast food culture. DCP, color and b&w, 79 min. Director: Lisa Hurwitz. Screenwriter: Michael Levine. With: Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Elliott Gould. Location: Billy Wilder Theater
