Wasn't Linda Darnell a female fatal in Fallen Angel?

Another entertaining and informative session from Eddie and Anne. Thanks!!👍😎

Can you PLEASE post time stamps for each question?

Out of the fog from 1941 is also a new york film noir that takes place in brooklyn which is based on the broadway play that it was based on which is called the gentle people by irving shaw who wrote rich man, poor man..

Jack Lambert was totally my pick too!!!

get Charlotte a headset mic

Another excellent program (as usual). Many thanks for the book recommendations!

Okaay! Took 21 mins to get to the 1st question. I don't want to hear about horror films anyway. These preambles are getting longer & longer. Liz Scott- Is she wooden or stone--faced? Maybe both. Beautiful hair & tiny waist, true, but she's opaque. She actually slept her way into, or stayed in, a film career. Probably including some sexual harassment/ pressure, unfortunately. But if she's in a film, I have to watch it in spite of ES. Sorry, fans. Don't try to convince me. Bad for Each Other - Charlton Heston may be the male Liz Scott! One great feature ( his shoulders), small waist, clunky performance. Inexplicable appeal. They are also both almost camp. I could go on 🥱 I vote for a NY issue of Noir City! And letters to the Editor, terrific. I'll be writing in.

Went searching for Solomon's Vineyard after Eddie's mention of the book. Tough to find but found a nice clean copy on eBay. Sort of a pocket book edition. Cant wait to read it.

I haven't read 'Solomon's Vineyard' for decades and I think that was a paperback I found in Moe's Bookstore in Berkeley, so maybe like 5 decades. All I can remember is that it had something about a cult in it and it was reminiscent of 'The Dain Curse' in some aspects, but raunchier. I see I was probably reading the expurgated version as the 'unexpurgated' version wasn't published in the US until 1982. Kindle has a copy published by The Murder Room in 2013 for only $AU 7.99 (that is Australian dollars, so probably about 5 bucks US) and I feel it is my duty to read the uncensored version. Anyway, thanks for the memories and I am really interested to see why you think it would be unfilmable today, assuming this copy is the unexpurgated one.

Not exactly an answer to question number 3 but an offshoot. " The film Kiss Me Deadly ran into all sorts of problems due to its violence. Just as the film was about to be released, the Legion of Decency condemned it, demanding “over thirty changes, cuts, and deletions.” Aldrich made minor cuts, ensuring a B rating (condemned in part). Its ads were displayed during Senate hearings on juvenile delinquency and it was under scrutiny from the Kefauver Commission, which called it a film "designed to ruin young viewers.". Considered trash, KMD was never reviewed in the New York Times and was banned in Britain"

Sweet Smell Of Success has to be my favorite New York Noir. The tour de force performances from Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster with the edginess of James Wong Howe's noir cinematography of NYC just make it a perfect film, in my opinion.

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in thinking that Liz Scott is not a very good actress. Her face is not expressive at all, just kind of frozen. You, I can't "read" her emotions from her face, her eyes. (As a contrast, you turn the sound off when watching Bogart in a good film and you know what he's thinking, feeling in a scene.) As a photographer when I watch a scene focused on her all I can think about is how carefully they set up the lighting to show off her beautiful wavy blonde hair. Also re: Bernard Hermann scores, it's not Noir, but "The Ghost and Mrs Muir" is a great one.

my FAVORITE NY film noir: The Window (1949)

As someone who hated Bad for Each Other, I am not mad that you showed it on Noir Alley. I trust your process. Part of the fun is watching movies I otherwise would have never come across.

Not being an aficionado, I really enjoy and learn a lot from Eddie's and Ann's noir rapport, and can't understand why there are not more views of their podcasts. I just discovered the "gist" transcript feature on the site which helps me catch up when their wheels get rolling and leave me in the dust :) Kudos to NoirCity Incorporated.

A book recommendation at the end of each episode is a great idea.

Thanks for answering my Lizabeth Scott question - I shall send a letter to Noir City magazine!

I believe that The Tattooed Stranger (1950) was shot in New York, and that you can see some neighourhoods that were later torn down, which is interesting.

Let Anne do her own horrorfilm podcast and keep this one noir related.

She was also on an episode of Wagon Train too. She was very young at the time, but she was great.

Saw her in a '61 "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" episode, she was gorgeous.

Miss June - What a wonderful talent !

La recuerdo por su actuación en la serie "el zorro" hermosa que en paz descanse... Saludos desde Argentina

To see the sexism of Hollywood, watch the un-aired pilot of Lost in Space

I also like Babylon Berlin a lot. But the problem with period pieces for us that have a historical knowledge is that you often find some flaw. In Babylon Berlin there are a few examples. For instance, in Berlin in the series you see a lot of cars, but not one horse. They should have thought about that. Horses were common (bringing out milk or beer and other things) in Berlin and other German cities in the 1920s and 1930s.

If you don't have MHZ Choice but have a region-free or region 2 DVD player, Babylon Berlin Season 4 is currently available on a UK DVD from Acorn. And on 9/24/24 it'll be out on a US Blu Ray from Kino Lorber. -- The latest news from Germany is that Season 5 is scheduled to go into production this fall. Script is being finalized now. It'll be 8 episodes and set in February 1933 when you-know-who came into power. If I recall correctly the writers have no intention to continue the story past that point.

Musical artists that strike you as noir: The Doors

Can’t stand remakes. Then saw recently noir alley. Eddie Ripping Raft. When He loves Bogart who is beyond awful. Petrified forest he was hilarious and he was not kind to woman. What a letdown. Raft was class and could act so incredibly. Miss the old noir alley.

Eddie Muller could have been another Elisha Cooke Jr.

She is fantastic! So much energy and laughter. I loved Lost in Space, and you too, June!

I enjoyed this year's 25th Hollywood Noir Festival theme: Charlatans. How apt. 😮 Good character actors: Franklin Pangborn, Thelma Ritter, Margaret Hamilton pre-Oz, the old, beer-drinking woman in "Born to Kill". Dozens of them! I will check out "Babylon Berlin" on Eddie's enthusiastic recommendation. It's got to be better than some of the big, first-run movies out now. I am basically stuck in a rather small town (no car) but with a little Laemmle Theater, thank the gods! This is a famous LA art house chain started 1938. So I watch films there, on YT, some Amazon Prime, & a few DVDs from Library. No streaming services, NO TCM with Eddie Muller hosting! But thankful for these anyway. Keep up the good work, Eddie & Anne H!

1:05:00 The Philip Roth novel is The Plot against America, and it was made into a drama series on HBO.

22:06 My nominee for outstanding noir supporting actor: Thomas Gomez, who lent his sweaty presence to Phantom Lady, Johnny O’Clock, Ride the Pink Horse, and Force of Evil.

Eddie, are you still trying to find "termite terrace" on the Warner's lot? Good luck as it was never there.

Mike Mazurki is always a welcome character actor in noir imho. " I,m looking for Velma." Another nominee: Sheldon Leonard.

0:30.Eddie, electric fans are a staple of noir as you know...😉🥵

Remakes are like bands playing cover songs! Not a fan...

Movie Fantasy Proposal: It's worth noting that Park Chan-wook is a fan of In A Lonely Place as the soundtrack for his film, Oldboy (2003) is full of titles named after classic films that inspired him for his own movies. One of those is In A Lonely Place. Others are The Big Sleep, Kiss Me Deadly, Point Blank, Farewell My Lovely, Breathless, The Searchers, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Cries And Whispers, and even Jailhouse Rock. Park knows his classic cinema. So while I don't personally want In A Lonely Place to be remade/reinterpreted, as I already think Nicholas Ray made a perfect film with Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame, I will say that if a remake absolutely must be made for some reason or another, I would trust Park Chan-wook with the material far more than most other directors today.

Which character actor can elevate a noir for me.....Jay Adler. He steals every scene from Dick Powell in Cry Danger and from Broderick Crawford in The Mob (plus countless others).

Last Stop In Yuma County was a good neo noir. I actually saw that in the theatre.

Diane Baker- the epitome of showmanship; Supermodel❤😊

Do you think that you would be allowed to interview me? I know all of the Casablanca's & all of the Bogie & Bacall films! That definitely would be a dream come true!Debbie

Eddie, I've been watching you blessedly defending Democracy & in this particular film noir you're explaining why you feel that it's part of your job! I think so too! After last night I was inundated with trolls trying desperately for me to SHUT UP about my love for Democracy! I sincerely wish I could afford to go on those noir city film festivals! Eddie please keep up the great work! I am a cinephile! But I'm particularly weak with Bogie & Bacall! What's happened to our nation in the past several years makes me wish I had duel citizenship with Canada! I swear I do! But that's that! After last night I swear I knew exactly what was going on! Eddie YOU ARE the GREATEST! I am on Quora too! I know that you are way too busy to be bothered with me but it would be a dream come true to have a chat with you! Btw, I swear I have Maltese Falcon on my DVR! As far as that goes I loved John Garfield who they say died of heart disease because of all of the stress from MaCarthyism! Please let Between Two Worlds be shown somehow again! They pulled it out of my DVR & they've pulled out so many others! But I have caught several but please Between 2 Worlds! John Garfield, Sidney Greenstreet, Faye Emerson & several others! I am going to lose my house otherwise I'd be on every single gathering you have! Cruises, wine, I don't drink anyway! Please I pray 🙏 that you are able to get in touch with me! My computer is shot! So all I have is this old iPhone X! God could we talk! I mean it & don't get me wrong it's not the fact that you are a good looking man either! I'm too old for men now! It's not in for women my age to have a man! All of my friends are widows! There counterparts are dating women who are in their 20's! Oh well back to the movie "Woman on Pier 13! Have a great one !

I suggest William Talman.

not a great film... Tony Curtis is good, and a scene in a grand jury, but the plot is silly... Hays Code didn't help...

Used a Remington 700BDl 30.06, Schmisser MP-40 and a Walther P38 9mm, white lace jump boots just like I earned in 1980 Airborne.

I think super heroes can be noir, if it's a made in a more down to earth-form than usual. Frank Miller's Daredevil is a good example, as is the TV series Daredevil, at least the first season, that is all that I have seen. Perhaps Jessica Jones too.

Amazing & awesome interview! THANK YOU very much for uploading for us to enjoy!

I’m looking for an email for Richard Duryea or Alan K. Rhodes.
