I think I first saw it about three years ago. It instantly became one of my favorite noirs. Like so many works about the devil, it never gets old. #AliasNickBeal #FilmNoirClub
This score is so powerful. #AliasNickBeal #FilmNoirClub
This is my first time to watch ALIAS NICK BEAL and it's been an absolute treat. #AliasNickBeal #FilmNoirClub
Ray’s eyes! #filmnoirclub #AliasNickBeal
He really wants that state seal, doesn't he! #AliasNickBeal #FilmNoirClub
OH. There it is! He's not wearing his hat! (when Joseph is resigning as governor). #FilmNoir #AliasNickBeal
Does Nick Beal ever take his hat off in this movie? (I may have missed it...) #AliasNickBeal #FilmNoirClub
“Alias Nick Beal” (1949) is loosely based on the myth of Faust. You can read the most popular version of this myth, written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe for free here (archive.org/details/faus...)

Always so happy to find Theresa Harris in a movie! #filmnoirclub #AliasNickBeal
Anyone find the 1655 Rembrandt referred to? All I can find is this:

This scene where Milland coaches Totter on her upcoming conversation with Mitchell – and the way it ultimately plays out in the following scene (with her saying her lines verbatim, but with completely different meaning) – is absolutely one of the great moments in noir. #AliasNickBeal #FilmNoirClub
He has the silvery tongue of the serpent for sure as he rehearses the speech with her.

Those curtains are terrifying

Milland’s whistling reminds me of the tune in the Richard Dix Whistler films #FilmNoirClub #AliasNickBeal
I swear, Milland’s characterization seems decades ahead of its time. He’s the most smooth talking of lobbyists: the force behind every politician too admirable to understand the corrupting nature of compromise, yet too ambitious to resist it. #AliasNickBeal #FilmNoirClub
Beware of the husband who suddenly wants a gay tie! #FilmNoirClub #aliasnickbeal
I’m surprised Nick Beal didn’t burst into flames when they were reading the Bible! #FilmNoirClub #AliasNickBeal
Could Ray be any creepier? Actually yes. #FilmNoirClub #aliasnickbeal
