@TheMonologist Along with "Double Indemnity", "Out Of The Past" is hard to beat as an introduction to film noir.

@LISAGNO ... and for those of us of a certain age almost remember the Herb Alpert cover version. 🤓 youtube.com/watch?v=B-yI4w…

Composer Anton Karas' "The Third Man Theme" topped 1950 international music charts, bringing Karas international fame. #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

On the off chance that you (or anyone) might have missed John Walsh's 2024 book on the making of "The Third Man." Recommended. #FilmNoir

@LadyKdesigns An excellent question as noir is often defined by the contrast between the good girl and the femme fatale. So many great possible choices, but for today ... Cathy O'Donnell

We love our #femmefatale vixens, but let's not forget the Good Girls of #FilmNoir... who's your favorite? 👼Cathy O’Donnell Coleen Gray Lucille Ball Shelley Winters #WomenInNoir #WomensHistoryMonth

I'm not on "X" that much these days, but thanks for continuing to keep me posted. Sadly, I have to call it a night. "The Third Man" has several connections with the Bond films and it is SO iconic. Harry's into, the Ferris wheel, Anna's final walk. Enjoy. #BNoirDetour #FIlmNoir

I want a "Laura" follow-up in which Ann and Shelby get married only for him to cheat with Laura! Ann kills him and McPherson breaks up with Laura and winds up with Ann! 🤪 #BNoirDetour #FIlmNoir

@LISAGNO It is very posh - which may be the reason for that. Yet it is very noirish where it counts- these are really mixed up people, even Laura! "I must say, for a charming, intelligent girl, you certainly surrounded yourself with a remarkable collection of dopes. #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

@DwayneAddi66321 and yet some don't consider this #FilmNoir which I am not sure I understand #BNoirDetour

Both films tonight ("Laura" and "The Third Man") are filled with "Noir Textbook" images. Images that are so iconic that they now serve as posters and book covers. #FIlmNoir #BNoirDetour

@LISAGNO Laird Cregar was in the mix (IIRC) but Preminger nixed it.

first choice for Detective McPherson #BNoirDetour Clifton Webb was also not first choice #FilmNoir

@LISAGNO In addition to his work in film noirs, Andrews was also excellent in "The Ox-Bow Incident", "The Best Years of Our Lives" and (of course) "Night of the Demon" (not so much in "The Frozen Dead"!). #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

i need a cold shower! #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

Adorable yes (she is Gene Tierney after all), but I'm suddenly hungry for fish sticks. 🤣 #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

Shelby Carpenter is a "player". Laura, Ann Treadwell AND Diane Redfern! 😀 #FIlmNoir #BNoirDetour

Yeah!!! Her hat choices are (let's just say) interesting. 🤣 #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

@LISAGNO My Blu-ray is in and I've forwarded to Laura and Shelby Carpenter at the party. Close?

@LISAGNO Interestingly, the lyrics added by Johnny Mercer about a year later (IIRC) paint Laura as a "dream" (She gave your very first kiss to you, that was Laura but she's only a dream) which is how some view the film. I don't, but that line of reasoning exists. #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

The song "Laura" has been recorded more than 400 times. This jazz standard has been performed by numerous artists, making it one of the most frequently recorded songs in jazz history. #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

@LISAGNO I'm running behind and #Laura is such a great film (I thought it was 9PM ET). Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney, Vincent Price, Clifton Webb and Judith Anderson ... WOW. I may just post blindly! #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

The portrait of Laura was done by enlarging a photograph of Tierney then lightly dabbed with oils to give it the ethereal effect Preminger wanted #BNoirDetour #FilmNoir

@nyjetshistory Simpler times FYI, Pledge of Allegiance: Apollo 8 Astronauts - Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders. National Anthem: Lloyd Geisler of the Washington National Symphony Orchestra

@KevG163 Thank you, Kevin. Your efforts in reminding us of the rich history of the NFL are appreciated (and then some!).

Happy New Year, gang! 🥳🥂 Wanted thank all of you who follow. Thank you for sharing all of your memories with me, and for helping keep the flame of pro football's history burning. Let's keep it rolling in 2026! Cheers! 🥂

@TheMonologist A masterclass in acting by Bogart and Jose Ferrer. 👏
