Finally! It's time for the big Film Noir HoF III reveal...
I've calculated the points and triple checked the math, until my eyes hurt
. I'll start posting the results in just a few minutes. But first I want to say a great BIG THANK YOU
to everyone! Great nom choices! We had some great classics, a couple of neo noirs and a foreign noir too. All together a very diverse and interesting set of noms and all fine choices!

Spellbound (1945)
Spellbound (1945)
Nominated by Neiba
33 Points
“...what attracted me to this film was Michael Chekhov as Dr. Brulov.
I've known the work of Chekhov for the past 3 years, I've written a masters thesis on him and have several articles in the making that will be published sometime this year.
The man is one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century, one of the greatest theatre actors and directors of all time and an one of a kind educator.

Spellbound was the only nomination I didn’t like. Too uneven for me. Peck was ok at some points, not so ok during others.

good film but really not a noir film, more of a melodrama

"While noir wasn't officially defined until a few years later Le Corbeau might be the first deconstruction of the genre. In 99% of noirs focus around a murder or a theft but Clouzot's work is more focused the elements of a crime rather than a major crime.”

I liked Crossfire. The acting is what really carries it though. Grahame was in a badly written role imo. And there were a few scenes that could have been removed altogether.

Glad to have a foreign noir nominated. It was neat to see Le Corbeau a film I was not aware of.

I’m so disappointed by Le Corbeau low placing. I had it 3rd I think? I really loved it. Also my first film by Clouzot, a director I had already been familiar with.
Shame! Shame on all!

It's not her best role, IMO. But if I'm not mistaken I think she said it was her favorite role that she did in a movie. I might be wrong, I'll have to look it up.

I also had it at #3, my top four were all films in my top 100...I know some people really didn't care for it.
