We hear all the time about Orson Welles being only 25 when he made Citizen Kane, but Paul Weller was 22 when he wrote That’s Entertainment. And he did it in ten minutes.

Turned on to The Delines by
@malcombowie.bsky.social
. Their records are beautiful works of classical country-soul, the novelistic lyrics recounting noirish narratives of the luckless and drifting.

Decoy (1946) sits at the interface between noir and those Columbia Karloff vehicles in which he invariably raises himself or some other poor boob from the dead to wreak vengeance. It’s a Monogram film, and so is set in a world of cardboard and shot magnolia flat.

It’s mysterious why Pearl Charles’s retro-country-soul hasn’t made her a huge star. She has the songs and is fantastic live.

Raymond Chandler and James M Cain. Flashback structure. A man waylaid by a femme fatale. Inescapable doom. Double Indemnity is Noir 101.

Orson Welles’ The Stranger (1946) shows us an America where a Nazi has insinuated himself into the higher levels of society, getting the Supreme Court onside, and eliminating those who challenge him.

Owen Tromans’ Between Stones is an album that’s haunted me for five years now. Its folk gothic touches on Pentangle, Nick Drake and Neil Young, but I think its closest kin is the Hunky Dory-era weird Bowie of Quicksand and The Bewlay Brothers.

3.The film noir that made you a fan.

I don’t remember how old I was when I first saw this, but its atmosphere - hothouse plants, rain, darkness, a camera hidden in a Chinese bust - hooked me for life.

I’d wish Steve Ditko a happy birthday (November 2nd), but he’d probably recoil at my extending good will to another human being.

Crawford is so monumentally malignant in Harriet Craig it feels like Jacobean drama. Her hair, clothes, movements and gestures are all terrifyingly sharp and symmetrical.

Back to the Wall is a deliciously atmospheric and twisty French noir in which a cuckolded husband disposes of the lover of his faithless wife (if you marry Jeanne Moreau, what do you expect?).

Found a twofer CD yesterday with these joyous albums on. Instantly conjures up giant heaps of meatballs in tomato sauce and multi-storey eggplant parmigiana.

Took a chance on this. Johnny Pace (great noir name) is in the Sinatra/Bobby Darin vein, and the band is of course crisp and chilled to perfection.
