Probably out hiking. Definitely exhausted.

DOUBLE DEAL (1950). An odd little noir. It’s 64 mins, so the pace is decent. But — a monkey? On a ranch in Oklahoma??? Marie Windsor is, as always, the saving grace in these B noirs. She gets to butch it up a little here. And when she slapped the cigarette out of Lilly’s mouth? I was shook.

Worth the price of admission for Elsa Lanchester’s slightly queer-coded cabbie. Her “Wisconsin” accent is ridiculous. She’s always in a Hawaiian shirt and cabbie cap. Too insane for it to not be entertaining.

A noir set and filmed in Hawaii, which was kinda cool. I’m always a bit underwhelmed by Wendell Corey, but the rest of the cast made up for it.

Visited Joan Crawford’s resting place today. And yes, I wore my JOHNNY GUITAR pin.

Watched HELLFIRE (1949) again tonight. Been on a Marie Windsor kick lately and I just love that Trucolor saturation. Must get a phyiscal copy someday since the upload on YT is pretty blurry and grainy.

Watched the 1952 noir THE SNIPER last night. The OG incel flick, with a touch of pre-BSU criminal profiling and psychology. Such a loaded cast, most in bit parts and uncredited, but lots of familiar faces.

A hellish workweek made better by film. Even the bad films. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky

That being said, those 9 minutes of Joan were primo. She hurled insults, bribed her lover, slapped a teenager around, and almost lost her hairpiece in her final moments on screen.

Anne Sexton, born on this day in 1928. My favorite complicated problematic poet.

Halloween’s over, so it’s back to some classics. Watching a new-to-me Joan Crawford flick.

My buys from the Shout! Factory Shocktober sale 😆. Had to grab all the Joan Crawford horror they had. And I’ve only seen STRAIT-JACKET, so I’m stoked to pick up the other two.

I don’t tend to buy films I haven’t seen before (unless they’re cheap), but I was so intrigued by the Vinegar Syndrome release of WINTER KEPT US WARM that I had to pick it up. A gorgeous look at queer love and longing at a time when being gay was still a crime.
