Tension, a rarely seen film noir classic starring Richard Basehart, Barry Sullivan, Cyd Charisse , Audrey Totter and William Conrad, will be shown for free tomorrow at the Enoch Pratt Free Library as part of the 'Rare Reels: The Best Films You've Never Seen' series. Directed by John Berry, who would later fall victim to Hollywood's '50s-era blacklist, the 1949 film is the story of a druggist who plots to kill his two-timing wife, but whose plans get waylaid when he falls in love with another woman, and someone else kills the guy his wife's been fooling around with. Showtime is 2 p.m. in the Wheeler Auditorium of the central library, 400 Cathedral St. Information: 410-396-5430 or prattlibrary.org/calendar. Read more
