T-Men investigating a flood of phony $20s spring convicted counterfeiter Tris Stewart (Lloyd Bridges) from the joint to use as an undercover operative. But Tris is only stringing the Feds along until he makes a score and scoots to Mexico with his red-hot squeeze, Meg (Barbara Payton). The double- and triple-crosses come fast and furious, as no one's sure who's a crook and who's a copper. A hasty and hard-edged B from director Fleischer, with exceptional camerawork by DP Guy Roe. Rescued from oblivion by the Film Noir Foundation and UCLA Film & Television Archive. Premiere screening of a newly restored 35mm print 1949, Eagle-Lion Films [FNF/UCLA] 78 min Scr. Earl Felton and George Zuckerman. Dir. Richard Fleischer

THE FILE ON THELMA JORDON

Boozy assistant DA Cleve Marshall (Wendell Corey) reels from a stifling marriage into an affair with the mysterious Thelma Jordon (Barbara Stanwyck). He's so smitten, and besotted, he misses the warning signs: Thelma has a sickly aunt loaded with dough and spends lots of time in the arms of shadowy and sinister Tony Laredo (Richard Rober). Something bad is bound to happen … and when it does Cleve winds up working both sides of the law. Noir master Siodmak does a spellbinding job with a terrific script, and Stanwyck—Queen of Noir—offers a terrific, two-faced turn in one of her most rarely screened films. 35mm print courtesy of Paramount

1950, Paramount. 100 min. 35mm Scr. Ketti Frings, from a story by Mary Holland. Dir. Robert Siodmak

The Rise of Hard Cider Vermont-Style

The ascent of the hard cider industry is impossible to overlook, especially in the recent decade. Vermont, with its lush orchards and artisanal spirit, stands out as an epicenter of this resurgence. As the apples turn ripe and the air gets a nip, cidermakers get into action. Their aim? To transform these crisp apples into bottles brimming with bubbly, zesty, and rejuvenating cider. With every passing season, the hard cider Vermont rolls out claims more admirers, making its mark not just regionally, but nationally.

Whether you're a fan of a sugary, after-dinner cider or have a preference for the sharp bite of a drier version, the cider Vermont lineup ensures you're spoilt for choice.

Spotlight on Producers

No discussion on Vermont's ciders would be complete without a nod to its dedicated producers. These are the souls who prioritize essence over scale. They often choose to handpick apples from their personal orchards or collaborate with neighboring farms to procure the finest. This emphasis on local resources not only fosters a strong Vermont community spirit but also ensures that every drop of cider introduced to the world is a testament to freshness and quality.

Spotlight on Producers

Vermont's hard cider fame isn't solely due to its bountiful orchards; a significant part of the acclaim goes to its producers. These artisans, who take immense pride in their craft, form the backbone of the Vermont community. They often maintain close relationships with apple farmers or even own their orchards, ensuring they have access to the best ingredients. The motto here is clear: quality is paramount. As a result, when you open a bottle, you're not just sipping on cider but years of tradition, hard work, and dedication.

Pairing Your Cider

Vermont's hard ciders, with their intricate flavors, offer an expansive palate for culinary pairings.
