Join me as I host LARCENY this Wednesday 11/5 for #FilmNoirClub 8pm ET/5 pm PT #Noirvember #FilmNoir

Day 5 #NoirvemberChallenge The #filmnoir you would show someone who had never seen one? Double Indemnity ('44). The gold standard of noir, this masterpiece was directed by Billy Wilder, co-written by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson.

Day 4 #NoirvemberChallenge Which #filmnoir feels ahead of its time? The blueprint for modern heist films, directed by John Huston, Asphalt Jungle (1950), novel by W. R. Burnett. The film stars Sterling Hayden, Louis Calhern, Jean Hagen, James Whitmore, Sam Jaffe, John McIntire, & Marilyn Monroe.

Day 3 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite #filmnoir that made you a fan? The Big Sleep (’46). Chandler’s classic, directed by Howard Hawks with Bogie as Marlowe, and that incredible cast captured my heart and reeled me into the dark underbelly of this genre. I love it more every time I watch it.

Day 2 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite #filmnoir character intro? Harry Lime’s entrance in The Third Man (1949). From the cat, to the smirk, and vanishing back into darkness. It’s an iconic reveal and a masterful combination of techniques, suspenseful storytelling, and a perfect performance by Welles.

Day 1 #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite #filmnoir Opening? There are many, but these stand out for capturing those first five glorious minutes that set up a noir story you can’t look away from: The Killers (’46) Touch of Evil (’58)

🔪 Pretty neat photographic trick at the end of PSYCHO (1960) #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ #FilmNoir 🕵️ #Noirror 👹 #Halloween 🎃 #WatchParty 🥳 #FilmSky 📽️ 🔪

🔪 Note well: In Eddie Muller's & Ben Mankiewicz's afterword to PSYCHO (1960) The Czar of Noir proclaims that when he saw the film, he knew that it was "The night noir died," i.e., the end of Film Noir proper. #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ #FilmNoir 🕵️ #Noirror 👹 #Halloween 🎃 #WatchParty 🥳 #FilmSky 📽️ 🔪

They used chocolate syrup for the blood and a casaba melon, interspersed with steak, for the stabbing sound. #FilmNoirClub

🔪 These shots by cinematographer John L. Russell in PSYCHO (1960) Are pure art! #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ #FilmNoir 🕵️ #Noirror 👹 #Halloween 🎃 #WatchParty 🥳 #FilmSky 📽️ 🔪

Absolutely and perfectly #filmnoir. #filmnoirclub

🔪 In case you missed Hitchcock's cameo appearance in PSYCHO (1960) #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ #FilmNoir 🕵️ #Noirror 👹 #Halloween 🎃 #WatchParty 🥳 #FilmSky 📽️ 🔪

🔪 Not only was PSYCHO (1960) Based on the true crime story of Ed Gein, but DERANGED, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, & THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS N.b.: the new series MONSTER: ED GEIN is a bad joke bastardization. #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ #FilmNoir 🕵️ #Noirror 👹 #Halloween 🎃 #WatchParty 🥳 #FilmSky 📽️ 🔪

🔪 The musical compositions by Bernard Herrmann for many of Hitchcock's thrillers are superb, but his work for PSYCHO (1960) Is sublime. He & Alma, Hitch's wife, convinced him to have music during the shower scene, #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ #FilmNoir 🕵️ #Noirror 👹 #Halloween 🎃 #WatchParty 🥳 #FilmSky 📽️ 🔪

🔪 Most will recognize the brilliant graphic designs for PSYCHO (1960) by Saul Bass “🖼️🖌️ Saul Bass 🖼️🖌️ - Poster Designer, Title Designer, & Director” boxd.it/FSidK #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ #FilmNoir 🕵️ #Noirror 👹 #Halloween 🎃 #WatchParty 🥳 #FilmSky 📽️ 🔪

Thank you @idletalk12.bsky.social for the excellent hosting! A first time watch for me a new favorite. So much fun to watch this one with all you birds! Till next week... #filmnoirclub

. I started a list, "Eddie Muller Favorites," over 2 years ago because ALIAS NICK BEAL (1949) Is one of his favorites, as he mentioned in a ! & A. #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ #FilmNoir 🕵️ #Noirror 👹 .

“Alias Nick Beal” (1949) is loosely based on the myth of Faust. You can read the most popular version of this myth, written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe for free here (archive.org/details/faus...) #FilmNoirClub #AliasNickBeal #Goethe #Faust #FilmNoir #horror

I think that Totter played a femme fatale for most of her career In 1946 she was offered both the roles of Kitty, in THE KILLERS and the lead in LADY IN THE LAKE. Filming schedules for both films overlapped so she turned down THE KILLERS #FilmNoirClub

. ALIAS NICK BEAL (1949) Is now Film Noir film #88 on my Letterboxd list: “Film Noir cigarette cases” boxd.it/gXV6e #FilmNoirClub 🗝️ #FilmNoir 🕵️ #Noirror 👹 #AudreyTotter .

Thomas Mitchell’s wife is the wonderful Geraldine Wall. She toiled for years in Hollywood, but this is one of the few decent parts she got. I love her voice. #FilmNoirClub #AliasNickBeal

The screenplay for ALIAS NICK BEAL was written by Jonathan Latimer, who frequently worked with John Farrow. In fact they worked on 10 films together #FilmNoirClub
