#NoirvemberChallenge 15. Film Noir Character You’d Trust the Least with Your Secrets: Just saw the Alias Nick Beal (1949) screening this morning. Perfectly timed for this prompt! #Noirvember #FilmSky 📽️

I can now say that I saw The Narrow Margin (1952) - On the big screen - At #NoirCity - With my family - In #Noirvember Definitely a personal 2025 highlight in a year that is in desperate need of some highlights! #NoirCityPhiladelphia @noirfoundation.bsky.social

#NoirvemberChallenge 14. Who’s on the #FilmNoir Mt. Rushmore: Dan Duryea - Actor Nicholas Musuraca - Cinematographer Claire Trevor - Actor Robert Siodmak - Director #Noirvember #FilmSky 📽️

Today’s the day! 💃 #NoirCity #NoirCityPhiladelphia @noirfoundation.bsky.social

#NoirvemberChallenge 13. Low-budget B noir: Apology for Murder (1945) starring Ann Savage and Hugh Beaumont. Blatant rip-off of Double Indemnity (Rumor has it they originally planned to call it Single Indemnity), but so much fun in its own right. #Noirvember #FilmNoir #FilmSky 📽️

#NoirvemberChallenge 12. Sexiest #FilmNoir: This one’s tough!! The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946), of course. Then there’s Marilyn in Niagara (1953). A more recent new-to-me noir, No Questions Asked (1951), also makes my list. #Noirvember #FilmSky 📽️

#NoirvemberChallenge 11. #FilmNoir Bar Scene: New favorite from last week’s #NoirAlley, Blind Spot (1947). Drunk Chester Morris tells his troubles to everyone’s favorite bartender, Mike, then grabs a quiet table with Constance Dowling. 🔥🔥🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 #Noirvember #FilmSky 📽️

Jamie Bell, who's playing Lt. Applegate, was a regular in Val Lewton's horror films over at RKO Studios #BlindSpot #NoirAlley #TCMParty www.imdb.com/name/nm00682...

#NoirvemberChallenge 10. Favorite Gloria Grahame #FilmNoir: Macao (1952). My intro to GG noir. Gloria’s the villain’s girlfriend stealing scenes from everyone in the film. She’s the slinky mistress who acts like she doesn’t care but has a heart of gold in the end. #Noirvember #FilmSky 📽️

The incomparable Dorothy Dandridge, born 103 years ago today. First Black woman to be Oscar nominated for Best Actress.

#NoirvemberChallenge 9. Favorite Dan Duryea #FilmNoir Dan Duryea was never smoother than he was as Slim Dundee in Criss Cross (1949); and never more tortured and vulnerable than he was as Nat Harbin in The Buglar (1957). ❤️🖤♥️🖤 #Noirvember #FilmSky 📽️

#NoirvemberChallenge 8. Film noir line: The OG, from The Narrow Margin (1952). For me, this is the essence of film noir. #Noirvember #FilmNoir #FilmSky 📽️

#Noirvember Jukebox: youtu.be/z11dA7srESo?...

T minus 7 days until Noir City Philadelphia! #Noirvember @noirfoundation.bsky.social

#NoirvemberChallenge 7. Film noir dream sequence: William Holden surfaces a childhood trauma through psychoanalysis in The Dark Past (1948). #Noirvember #FilmNoir #FilmSky 📽️

#NoirvemberChallenge 6. Coolest film noir character: Richard Conte as Mr. Brown in The Big Combo (1955). Too cool to even need a first name. #FilmNoir #Noirvember #FilmSky

A very close second - Charles McGraw in The Narrow Margin. I mean look at him! And that's before we get to his voice! #NoirvemberChallenge #FilmNoir

#NoirvemberChallenge 5. Film noir you'd show someone who's never seen one: The Narrow Margin (1952). Because everyone should see The Narrow Margin. Immediately. Like literally right now. #Noirvember #FilmNoir #FilmSky

Rita Hayworth, George Macready, and Glenn Ford do some studying on the set of Gilda (1946). #Noirvember

Jersey, Baby!!!!! #NJ #Jersey #Gov

#NoirvemberChallenge 4. Film noir ahead of its time: Strangers on a Train (1951). #FilmNoir #Noirvember #FilmSky

#NoirvemberChallenge 3. Film that made me a #FilmNoir fan: One night I caught Road House (1948) on the old Nick at Nite, I think? I was hooked immediately and I’ve never looked back. #Noirvember #FilmSky 📽️

#NoirvemberChallenge 2. Film noir character introduction: Cora in Postman (1946) is the ultimate, IMO. Honorable mention to Annie Laurie Starr in Gun Crazy (1950). #Noirvemeber #FilmSky 📽️ #FilmNoir

OK now imagine #TheGreatJewelRobber, same movie, line-for-line, with this guy as Gerard Dennis. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

We’ve reviewed your record, Mr. Dennis … #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheGreatJewelRobber

Ruby is less than impressed by #TheGreatJewelRobber #TCMParty #NoirAlley

“I’m so far ahead of these chumps they’ll never catch up with me.” #NoirLogic #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheGreatJewelRobber

I could do a fight scene better than that. With my engagement ring tied behind my back. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheGreatJewelRobber

Explain to me why they couldn’t get Steve Cochran to play #TheGreatJewelRobber? #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Bet #TheGreatJewelRobber knows what happens to your jewels when you swim through freezing water. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Go to the rack for 10 lashes?!?!? Where is this prison? Salem? In 1692? #TCMParty #TheGreatJewelRobber #NoirAlley

Imma be honest - this guy could steal my jewels. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #TheGreatJewelRobber

Newspaper headline montage in the first 10 seconds! Drink! 🥃 #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheGreatJewelThief

“Head of the B unit” at several studios is dream job territory, tbh. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheGreatJewelRobber

And we’re off! #NoirvemberChallenge 1. Film noir opening scene: Nothing like trapping your main character in a dry cistern to kick things off. Kent Smith in This Side of the Law (1950). #FilmSky #Noirvember #FilmNoir

SOOO excited, @ladykdesigns.bsky.social! I need a little #Noirvember inspo right now!!

Happy Halloween, #TCMParty and all my classic film and Bsky friends! #FilmSky

Rookie question: what’s the difference between Night of the Demon and Curse of the Demon? #TCMParty Cc: @wahrhaftig.bsky.social

Love this theme! 💪 My go-to resistance films (not that anyone asked but lately they’ve also become my comfort films): A Stranger in Town (1943), Intruder in the Dust (1949) and a little film called Casablanca (1942). #FilmSky #TicklishBiz

Before the day ends on the East coast, Happy Birthday to Jack Carson (1910-1963). He’d play a string of goofy sidekicks and then blow you away with a razor sharp performance in a straight dramatic film. #ClassicFilm #FilmSky #JackCarson #HappyBirthday

Remembering Teresa Wright, born today in 1918 #botd

oh my GODDDDDDDDDDD (apologies for screenshotting the hellsite, which I no longer use; I saw the link in CNN's Reliable Sources newsletter)

Ida Lupino and Howard Duff portrait from 1956 while developing their sitcom, “Mr. Adams and Eve”

Beautiful shot #TCMParty #NoirAlley #Southside11000

Yes, Nick. You do look rather like a “tin horn heister.” #TCMParty #Southside11000 #NoirAlley

Taking dangerous lady manager from Exposition Hotel to a boxing match is so noir #southside1-1000 #tcmparty #noirallley
