#TheGlassBottomBoat was filmed in late '65, so there is some neat NASA stuff (blink and you'll miss it though), but I've always found the film a bit disappointing - even with the casting. I guess a plot that relies on " GISMO" doesn't work for me. 🙄 - I will now turnoff my killjoy mode. #TCMParty

In my best "Maxwell Smart" voice: Skip is using his "evil skills" for the forces of "goodness. #TheNoirCollective #PickupOnSouthStreet

Surprise, surprise: #PickupOnSouthStreet was "remade" in 1967 as "The Cape Town Affair." According to wiki, Claire Trevor played the role made famous by Thelma Ritter. #TheNoirCollective

Poor Candy. .. and yeah, Jean Peters is perfect in this film. #TheNoirCollective #PickupOnSouthStreet

"So, you're a *red*, your money is as good as anybody else's!" Skip is smart in the ways of the world. #TheNoirCollective #PickupOnSouthStreet

You have to love a criminal that is on a first name basis with the police. Skip has seen these guys before. Probably exchanges gifts at Christmas. #TheNoirCollective #PIckupOnSouthStreet

"Zara" (Willis Bouchey) was also in "The Big Heat" This cast is terrific ... and Thelma Ritter (Moe Williams) just takes it up to the Moon. #TheNoirCollective #PickupOnSouthStreet

"We're NOT criminals. It's big business!" Based on current events, that line is still being used. 😂 #TheNoirCollective #PickupOnSouthStreet

#PickupOnSouthStreet was directed by Samuel Fuller - the man (IIRC) @eddiemuller.bsky.social once called the "greatest American of the 20th Century". #TheNoirCollective

Unfortunately, I won't be able to stay with tonight's programming. Although this is a Japanese film, the father/daughter dynamic in #LateSpring is universal. At it's core, it could easily be "mother/son" in the US (IMO). And that speaks - in part - of why OUZ's films are so touching. #TCMParty

I love that ending. The "lie" liberates Ann to NOT live in the past. #TCMParty #OutOfThePast

For those with Criterion streaming memberships, this month they are offering #OutOfThePast along with its 80s "remake" "Against All Odds" - something that they are doing for several films like "The Postman Always Rings Twice" and "Breathless" #TCMParty

Rhonda "Queen of Technicolor" Fleming certainly makes the most of limited screen time in #OutOfThePast. #TCMParty

"Just get out. I have to sleep in this room!" What a line. #TCMParty #OutOfThePast

I have a hunch that #OutOfThePast will be one of the "essential" noirs broadcast on the upcoming "Summer of Darkness" series. Just a hunch. 🤣 #TCMParty

Raymond Burr is on the scene. And in film noir, that can only mean one thing: TROUBLE. #TCMParty #HisKindOfWoman

From my post over at the MI6 fansite: In 1994, Ted Turner also created the TCM cable channel (Turner Classic Movies) to broadcast classic films uncut and commercial free. It quickly became my late mother's (and mine) favorite channel. 1/2 #TCMParty

"Don't worry about me mother, I'll get by." You have to hand it to Veda; she certainly hasn't lost her self confidence. #TCMParty #MildredPierce

When your lover calls you a "rotten little tramp" it may be a good idea to move on Veda. #TCMParty #MildredPierce

Oh boy. Here comes Veda's "little problem" and the blackmail. #TCMParty #MildredPierce

Kay's cough. I wonder if she will live through the film?! #TCMParty #MildredPierce

Good question. She talks about "your people" as if she's not from around here herself. #TCMParty #MildredPierce

Veda (as portraited by Ann Blyth) is the only film noir character that has ever had me tempted to throw a brick through my TV. She is that good/bad. 👏 #TCMParty #MildredPierce

The Stiff is deader than a doorknob. ( #WrongMovie) #TCMParty #MildredPierce

I'm a bit unclear on why Lizabeth Scott wasn't among the actresses profiled in Eddie Muller's "Dark City Dames" book. I can only infer that she did NOT want to address the 🐘 in the room. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

"Sam's wife" ❤️ That was great. Roise Perez and Eddie Muller brought such joy to showcasing today's film. ..... and now on to *bonus* noir. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

🎶Stanwyck's got a gun! Stanwyck's got a gun! 🎶 #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

"As The (Martha) Iversville Turns" 🌍 would make for a good soap opera. 💡 #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

Oops. Martha just confessed to a crime that Sam didn't know anything about. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

"The sun suit looks very well on her, Sam, she's got just the figure for it. She's a very pretty girl." "I give another show at 8 o'clock." "In your room or here?" #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers

Like everyone else in #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers, Toni (Lizabeth Scott) has a "past". #TCMParty #NoirAlley

"How does it feel to become a man ..... officially? How does it feel to become a woman ... officially? I think we *know* what they're really talking about. WOW. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

I detect passion coming to the surface for Martha - and it isn't for her husband. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

"The man that was hanged was a criminal, if he hadn't hung for that, he would have hung for something else." - I'm Hank Quinlan and I approved this message. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

Lizabeth "the threat" Scott 😍 As I stated, not the greatest actress in history but she did have screen presence IMO. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

"No Laura I didn't, but I thought about it." Even when Judith Anderson is innocent, she has an air about her that spells danger. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

Young Martha Ivers is really good at creating a lie on the spot. "We saw a man, a big man...... ' 🙄 #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

Hey guys! Let's not sell the presence of Judith Anderson (at the beginning) and Van Heflin short. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

Good morning - and happy Mother's Day - fellow noir fans. Today we have one of my favorites and a treat with Eddie and Rosie Perez. #TCMParty #TheStrangeLoveOfMarthaIvers #NoirAlley

I know it's subjective, but I think that 1958's "From The Earth To The Moon" is a superior version of this type of story. Both #FirstMenInTheMoon (H.G.Wells) and that film (Jules Verne) have similar vibes, but the absence here of a Joseph Cotten or a George Sanders is really felt. #Svengoolie

Arthur C. Clark's voice being used to narrate a Starlink commercial? .... ok, I guess. #Svengoolie

Nothing "b-film-ish" about "Rosemary's Baby" - folks are in for a treat. #Svengoolie

This is a really long prelude ...... #TCMParty #DuelInTheSun

Well, I'll be darn ..... #TCMParty #TheGunfighter screenrant.com/the-gunfight...

Oops: #TCMParty

For fans of 1960's/1970's TV and sci-fi, the number of familiar faces in #TheGunfighter is impressive: Ellen Corby, Richard Jaeckel, Alan Hale Jr. and Kim Spalding. I wonder if Ben Mankiewicz will make note of the Bob Dylan reference: "Brownsville Girl"? www.facebook.com/tcmtv/videos...

Anybody remember when Ethan Hawke introduced #TheGunfighter back in 2024 as part of a double feature ("Gun Crazy" was the other film)? #TCMParty

Its JOHNNY RINGO. Yeah, yeah, yeah .... oops wrong "Ringo" 😂 #TCMParty #TheGunfighter

That was fun (and better than I expected). Olivia walks into the police station to confess! Thanks for hosting this @tommykrasker.bsky.social 👍 #TheNoirCollective #SoEvilMyLove

Oops. Mark's gift to the "side-piece" ... and the penny finally drops for Oliva. #TheNoirCollective #SoEvilMyLove
