@ladykdesigns.bsky.social #Noirvemberchallenge Nov 20 Fav gambling scene is a #Filmnoir Vivian gambling & winning at the roulette table ‘The Big Sleep’ 1946 The scene uses the game of chance as a subtle metaphor & risk the characters are taking

Day 6 #NoirvemberChallenge one of the coolest #FilmNoir characters is Victor Mature in “Cry of the City” (1948). He’s the calm, composed and self-assured Lt. Candella pursuing Martin Rome (Richard Conte) a cop killer on the run. Dir. by Robert Siodmak. 20th Century Fox. @ladykdesigns.bsky.social

#Noirvember Day 10 Favorite Gloria Grahame #FilmNoir “The Big Heat” from 1953. Glenn Ford searches for thugs who killed his wife. Gloria Grahame is a moll for a guy he’s after. She’s the movie’s real star. Horrifically hurt, she’s determined to get the gangsters. Thanks @ladykdesigns.bsky.social

Day 11 #NoirvemberChallenge A Favorite Bar Scene in a #FilmNoir is from 1949’s “D.O.A.” starring Edmond O’Brien. He stops in a bar with live music. After someone spikes his drink, he frantically searches for the culprit before it’s too late. Harry Popkin Productions. Thx @ladykdesigns.bsky.social

#Noirvember challenge: Favorite #FilmNoir duo is Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet. They were in nine movies together. A favorite is Three Strangers (1946) with Geraldine Fitzgerald. They share a lucky lottery ticket. One person places their plans to get rich quick in peril. Warner Bros.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 1: Favorite #FilmNoir Opening Scene D.O.A. (1949) - I love the sequence of footsteps along the hallway to LAPD’s homicide division. Followed by a great trip through 1940s San Francisco. #Noirista #FilmSky youtube.com/shorts/IO-46...

Coleen Gray in Nightmare Alley '47 #FilmNoir 🎞 #Halloween #Vibes 🍥⚡️🍥

Actor Peter Lorre starred in numerous horror films throughout his career. He was often typecast due to his looks and dubbed "The Master of Menace". Check out his horror film MAD LOVE. It is perfect viewing for the Halloween season! Lorre is interred in the Cathedral Mausoleum at Hollywood Forever.

“The Arnelo Affair” (1947) has John Hodiak in the title role as a shady club owner. He likes Frances Gifford, the wife of associate George Murphy. She has reason to be nervous around her husband’s acquaintance. They soon get involved in a deadly incident. With Eve Arden. RKO. #FilmNoir

A true masterpiece, The Night of the Hunter (1955) #filmnoir #noirror was the only film directed by Charles Laughton. It stars Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and Lillian Gish. Influenced directors such as Fassbinder, Altman, and Scorsese. 📽️🎃

Sad to hear the passing of the great June Lockhart (1925-2025) star of #FilmNoir T-Men (1947).

Remembering Diana Dors, born Diana Mary Fluck on today's date in 1931. I liked her best in Yield to the Night, The Long Haul, and Tread Softly, Stranger. She was married from 1959 to 1966 to Richard Dawson, of Hogan's Heroes and Family Feud fame. bit.ly/3l6Mp91

This may be the best Boo-nanza double feature yet! #Svengoolie #HouseofSvengoolie #YoungFrankenstein #Frankenstein

I got Close-Up to wear a Dracula cape for 2 seconds. I did not sustain any blood loss. It’s a Halloween miracle!

Ida Lupino and Jean Gabin in “Moontide” (1942)

“Rififi” (1955) is considered one of the best heist films ever made. Directed by Jules Dassin (The Naked City, Night and the City) who plays one of four men on a daring jewel robbery. Things turn deadly as the search for loot leads to the doorsteps of those involved. Pathé Consortium. #FilmNoir

People often ask me where to start watching DARK SHADOWS, since there are 1,200+ episodes. One good place is ep 276, when Barnabas literally kills off the storyline that preceded him. After that, it's his show. Watch tonight at 12am ET on Pluto TV’s 24/7 #DarkShadows channel, or anytime on-demand.

Gooooood morning my friends!! Happy October!!

Good conversation about a great movie. Give a listen if you’re into noir, John Garfield, or Ernest Hemingway. And especially if you don’t know much about any of them!
