Day 8 #NoirvemberChallenge
Favorite Line in a #FilmNoir
I instantly thought of Shelley Winters’ “If that’s your kid sister, I’m a boa constrictor with high heels” from LARCENY, and my rewatch with the #FilmNoirClub this past week confirmed it. Makes me laugh every time. Laughter is good. 😊

Day 7 #NoirvemberChallenge
Favorite #FilmNoir Dream Sequence
Well, it’s more a hallucination than a dream, but how can I not acknowledge Don Birnam (Ray Milland) undergoing the DTs in THE LOST WEEKEND (1945), to me the greatest of the “crime-less” noirs?

Day 5 #NoirvemberChallenge
#FilmNoir You'd Show Someone Who's Never Seen One
CRISS CROSS has it all. Tropes we associate with noir (gullible man, femme fatale). Themes that define it (alienation, obsession, entrapment). Plus a heist, a bloodbath, location shooting & Yvonne De Carlo doing the rumba.

Day 3 #NoirvemberChallenge
The #FilmNoir That Made You a Fan
In the late ‘70s, THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS had gone into public domain, and the Late Late Show started airing it regularly. I didn’t identify it as film noir, as the term hadn’t gone mainstream yet; I just knew I loved this movie.

I cannot be the only person who has this GIF in their photo album, can I? 🤷♂️😅

As a kid growing up in the ‘60s, I used to love those episodes of LOST IN SPACE where the men would go off on a mission, leaving #JuneLockhart in charge of the Jupiter 2. RIP to a wonderful actress and a forgotten feminist icon.

One of my favorite screwballs, and one of my favorite GIFs.
