But seriously regarding Raft, he apparently turned down the lead in Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon and High Sierra which are some of Bogey’s most famous movies. Great instincts bro lol

George Raft, or as I call him “The Poor Man’s Humphrey Bogart” stars in BACKGROUND TO DANGER (1943), entry #39 for #Noirvember 🎬. In addition, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre also play supporting roles.

Movie #38 of #Noirvember 🎬 was LA BÊTE HUMAINE (1938) by Jean Renoir starring Jean Gabin who was an absolute beast in this

I get that like last year’s series these stamps feature new art but it kills me that Canada Post has now issued stamps of 10 comic book artists and none of them are Darwyn Cooke or Jeff Lemire

After #NoirAlley my second favourite programming feature is #TCMImports. I was finally able to borrow a copy of Alicia Malone’s beautiful book

There’s 52 movies discussed plus a ton of other recommendations mentioned I’m setting myself the goal of watching one film from this list per week in 2026

#Noirvember 🎬 movie #37 was John Huston’s THE ASPHALT JUNGLE (1950) with my friends from #FilmNoirClub.

Huston was a member of Committee for the First Amendment in support of the Hollywood Ten and later moved to Ireland to avoid any backlash from McCarthyism

Note that THE ASPHALT JUNGLE (1950) should not be confused with THE HUMAN JUNGLE (1954) or THE CONCRETE JUNGLE (1960) aka THE CRIMINAL or THE GARMENT JUNGLE (1957) or THE STEEL JUNGLE (1956)

JOURNEY INTO FEAR (1942) sure looks gorgeous (love the rain scenes) but the story is pretty typical cookie-cutter RKO and has me rolling my eyes a few times but I’m still glad i decided to rewatch it for entry #36 of #Noirvember 🎬

Movie #35 of #Noirvember was THE UNSUSPECTED (1947) which was a first time watch for me. I love Claude Rains so it probably gets an extra half-star just for that fact.

Entry #34 for #Noirvember 🎬 was a palate cleanser, a sorbet compared to the bowl of gravel that came before it. Obviously not a TrueNoir™ and only noir-inspired, but for me this month is a celebration of all things noir therefore I’m counting it. Have you seen Jim Henson’s DOG CITY:THE MOVIE (1989)?

#Noirvember 🎬 film #33 is by far the darkest movie I’ve seen this month. The cinematic style is crazy unique, the action is goofy and fun. The point of making INFLATABLE SEX DOLL FROM THE WASTELAND (1967) was to probably show as many topless scenes as possible but it’s still a damn good pink-noir.

Movie #32 of #Noirvember 🎬 was MACAO (1952) starring Jane Russell. There are no other actors in this film. I don’t know who directed it, I don’t know who wrote it and I’m not even sure if there was a story or score? Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really excited I get to see THE CHRISTINE JORGENSEN STORY (1970) for the first time tonight on #TCM

Its being followed be PARIS IS BURNING (1990) which I’ve seen, and DRESSED IN BLUE (1983) which I have not seen
