I noticed a lack of Noir love threads on here this November, so I figured I'd start one up. Who else is jumping aboard the annual celebration of shutter shadows and cigarette smoke?
So far, I've first time watched:
Hangover Square: Very good! Fast, brutal and a precursor to Psycho
Where Danger Lives: Fantastic! Mitchum is great as always
Somewhere in the Night: An influential plot hampered by boiler plate filmmaking and B level castibg
Nightmare Alley: Atypical and awesome. Had it ended one scene earlier, it would be a favorite.
The Big Operator: Mickey Rooney as faux Jimmy Hoffa. Like that casting, it's puzzling, occasionally parodic, but also more successful than it should be.
Post all your noir, neonoir, tech noir, Franco noir, nikkatsu noir and any other type of noir you watch here!
