  • Chandler and Director Billy Wilder did not part (let's say) as the best of friends. :)) Somewhere on the internet you can find the handwritten notes from the stars of the film to Cain - post-production. I'll try to link to them in the morning (N…
  • I don’t want to derail our Film Noir Thread, but as you go through these films – a set of films in which he is a major part of – you will come to be absolutely in awe of just how good Bogart was. Dear lord he was good. ^:)^
  • @Fire_and_Ice_Returns, for an actor who always played “nice guy” roles in both TV and film (and apparently was that way off screen as well), in the three movie roles that I know Fred MacMurray best for (DOUBLE INDEMNITY, THE CAINE MUTINY (1954) and …
  • @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. I agree. Both Phyllis and Walter are “rotten to the core.” And come to think of it, I’m not exactly crazy about Lola either. 😊 One of the pleasures of film noir for me – and there are many – is that a strong streak of humor…

  • An overview of films featuring Phillp Marlowe. I have a vague memory of POODLE SPRINGS (1998) back in the day. I was especially curious about setting the character in the early 1960s and looking to settle down. As noted, I wasn't into noir at t…

  • Thanks for the recommendation @MajorDSmythe . I mostly know Veronica Lake from THE BLUE DAHLIA (1946) and from the seemingly countless references to “The Peek-a-boo Blond” made in cartoons over the years (although not the one that you’re probably th…
  • Here is the Alex Cox short from the Criterion KISS ME DEADLY. TCM's Eddie Muller's Into/outro:(w/guest Max Allan Collins) BTW: Is it better to post a review of a film noir under the "last movie watched" thread or here? In any case my l…

  • Thanks for posting those @Fire_and_Ice_Returns. I had forgotten about DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID. I wasn't into film noir back then and I still not fully up to speed. :D

  • @ToTheRight. I really hope this works out. If you can find a sympathetic ear with someone else that works there, that often helps. I remember starting a new consulting assignment back in the fall of 2006 (the Monday after CR was released in fact)…
  • @Fire_and_Ice_Returns . Thanks for posting that. One of factors that led to the decline of Film Noir on the big screen in the late 1950s/early 1960s was the fact that many TV shows of the era borrowed elements of it so well. For those wishing to …
