It’s Hermes. When I did a visual search on the internet I also found a gorgeous 1970s dress on Etsy made from the same fabric. So treat yourself as well!

It was a gift from a Noir Alley fan. It’s in my suitcase right now, Farran. When I unpack I’ll check the label, see who made it.

If you look closely, the pattern is rows of light blue birds sitting on wires on a dark blue background—tribute to Hitchcock or Leonard Cohen, take your pick. #TCM #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Give Georgie a skritch for me.

Congratulations!

I’m hosting opening night of NOIR CITY: HOLLYWOOD tonight but if you can’t make it, here’s 90-some minutes of noir talk to tide you over.

Yes, I did. Check it out!

I’ve shown it at my NOIR CITY festival, but not on TCM. It’s terrific.

All credit to our brilliant DP Alden Allen; She conceived and created this new angle and devised the color scheme. FYI, there is no magenta and blue wall back there, that’s all a magic trick.

The kids are alright. And if you scan the walls of this classroom you know that Mr. Carton is the coolest teacher they’ve ever had. @tcmtv.bsky.social @noirfoundation.bsky.social

Can’t wait for this new release. Happy to have played a part in it. #noircity #NoirAlley #TCM #filmnoir

Thank you! It all wonderful!

Well put. Hope we can do again sometime. Maybe when I’m on another hiatus, like August.

I love the ending with Pila retelling the tale without subtitles. #FilmNoirClub

Not STORM FEAR. It’s terrible, even if I did show it on Noir Alley. #FilmNoirClub

Absolutely my pleasure! Is it wrong to say I love Wanda/Pila? #FilmNoirClub

I don’t think even I could get away with that tie! #FilmNoirClub

Begs the question: would a male producer have allowed to leading man to be this inept and beaten-down? Pila is ten times tougher. #FilmNoirClub

GREAT PHOTO! I love Joan’s outfit. Gotta like a producer who dresses appropriately for the movie she’s making! #FilmNoirClub

The lighting in the wide establishing shots is exceptional. I’ve known a lot people who saw this movie as kids and had it stick in their memory. I give Russ Metty much of the credit for that. #FilmNoirClub

Congratulations! #FilmNoirClub

I’m showing it several times in theaters, but never this gorgeous digitally restored version. #FilmNoirClub

There was a version called THE HANGED MAN, made in 1964 by Don Siegel and starring Robert Culp. I haven’t seen it! #FilmNoirClub

I’d love to know who’s idea that was.

I have never seen another Montgomery directed film that looks as good as this. #FilmNoirClub

No kidding. It’s actually what this film is all about. #FilmNoirClub
