It just doesn't get darker than this. The Paramount Theatre's summer classic film series continues this week with some rough 'n tumble gangsta films and crime classics, featuring stars from Marilyn Monroe to Warren Beatty to Barbara Stanwyck to Al Pacino. People may say our society's been getting more violent, but you'll definitely be shaking in your seat at these old-school thrillers.
