My personal #Noirvember tradition:
On the last night of Noirvember I watch a #FilmNoir classic that I have yet to see - a high-profile movie that it seems like everyone on film noir earth already knows and loves.
Closing out Noirvember with White Heat (1949).

I watched some films that #FilmSky friends had raved about. All were excellent: the advantage of following folks with superb taste. 😊

30. #FilmNoir ending:
Lizabeth Scott’s quiet final moments in Dead Reckoning (1947). Bogie’s last words to her as she closes her eyes: “Geronimo, Mike.”
Fabulous #Noirvember challenge, as always, @LadyKdesigns! Thank you for hosting!

Might as well marry the supposedly dead woman. It’s really the best way to get over the murders of your brother and ex-girlfriend and the realization that your dodgy brother is even dodgier than you thought.

Louis Armstrong and Lotte Lenya, 1955
Lenya was in the studio when Armstrong recorded "Mack the Knife," which is why he improvised the line "and Miss Lotte Lenya!"

26. Favorite Neo-Noir:
Dead Again (1991)
1990s thriller and homage to the golden age of #FilmNoir.
Starring Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh so the acting ain’t half bad either.

Think of a scene with Sheldon Leonard in it. Tell me it didn’t instantly become “his” scene as son as he entered it.

#NoirChecklist for #TheStrip:
-Narration and flashback
-Wrongly accused protagonist
-Oily gangster boss
-Good girl gone bad vs other good girl
-Nightclub band number(s)
-Odd crooner number
-And here’s a dance number
-Plot more threadbare than Mickey Rooney’s wedding suit
