"I am Klaus."
John Wick: Chapter 4

On Monday, I saw him in Time Limit. Fantastic performance. Legal drama. Widmark plays a military prosecutor trying to uncover why an accused officer of treason (Richard Basehart) won't defend himself. Good film. Directed by Karl Malden!

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

I like the French #DarkPassage poster more, although both are great. Trying to talk my wife into #FilmNoir posters for our newly renovated TV room. #TCMParty, help me out with a convincing argument. LOL

And how about John Lennon & George Harrison? He provided the voices for both Beatles in the 1965 cartoon

It's a fascinating story. Leeds' finance dumped her and she got hooked on heroin all while she was in jail. She appeared in only one movie afterwards, an anti-drug picture. She did work the nightclub scene for years... and would later study religion, establish a church and work on helping the needy.

In Kim Morgan's fantastic review she wrote that there was a certain homoeroticism in the needle scene. I didn't feel it. Any of you guys out there?

Did Raymond Burr ever play a good guy before Perry Mason?

Best lines:
Milner: I’m too young to die. How about you?
Cardigan: Too well-known.
Milner: Well, if you do get killed, I’ll make sure you get a 1st-rate funeral in Hollywood, at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
Cardigan: I’ve already had it. My last picture died there.
