Friday night noir. I Walk Alone (1947). Douglas & Lancaster on great form in a tightly directed and written noir. I get the feeling that Lancaster despite his critical and box office success is almost forgotten today. @filmnoiruk.bsky.social @filmnoir.bsky.social

Next is 21 Days (1940). First time watch and not entirely sure this is a Noir. But it's a chance to see Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh acting together in a low budget programmer. #NowWatching #filmnoir #vivienleigh #LaurenceOlivier @filmnoir.bsky.social @filmnoiruk.bsky.social

First film noir tonight is Port of New York (1949) with a suave, villanous Yul Brynner playing the leader of drug operation. I think the narration is unnecessary. #NowWatching #filmnoir @filmnoir.bsky.social @filmnoiruk.bsky.social

I know nothing about this film other than Roger Corman is credited with the story and coproducer. Highway Dragnet (1954) #NowWatching #filmnoir #RogerCorman @filmnoir.bsky.social @filmnoiruk.bsky.social

Tonight's noir from the @indicator.bsky.social boxset is The Long Haul (1957). Mature was in a number of noirs & a more versatile actor than the sword & sandal epics would suggest. Same with Dors who deserves her own boxset. #NowWatching #filmnoir @filmnoir.bsky.social @filmnoiruk.bsky.social
