The script was tailored precisely to budget, confined to barrooms, bookie joints, and a wonderfully seedy trailer park.
Much of the picture was shot in and around downtown Los Angeles, including at Union Station, on Bunker Hill, and on Fort Moore Hill.

“'A wonderful city', Fante wrote to his mother from Los Angeles...'but it takes money to really enjoy it.'”

Chester Himes’s L.A. Noir Still Burns in If He Hollers Let Him Go Chester Himes’s If He Hollers Let Him Go explores race, rage, and resilience in 1940s Los Angeles through the eyes of a Black working-class man.

"Bob’s Los Angeles—the tense, moody landscape of Chester Himes’s 'If He Hollers Let Him Go'—is less the golden dream many Black migrants were called toward and more the hollow promises they encountered," @lynellgeorge.bsky.social. www.altaonline.com/books/fictio... #ChesterHimes #LANoir

Well #Noiristas, today is a sad day. Learned about the passing of Val Kilmer. Far too young. He’s in my all time favorite #NeoNoir Heat (1995). I’d say it’s quintessential #LANoir. Well worth a viewing. #RIPValKilmer #FilmNoir

Somebody Didn’t Count in the Fourth Bosch Novel — Peter Moreira - Author of The Haight Mystery Series Harry Bosch first says “Everybody counts or nobody counts” in The Last Coyote . It’s ironic that this is the Bosch novel in which not everybody counts.

In my latest blog, I look at how Harry Bosch's "Everybody counts" mantra came about -- and was ultimately ignored -- in The Last Coyote. shorturl.at/NOYQI (Includes a spoiler alert)

-THE BIG SLEEP (Howard Hawks, 1946)
-LA CONFIDENTIAL (Curtis Hanson, 1997)

I was born in the 70s, when LA still looked like the 50s & 60s. They didn’t tear things down as quickly then. I’m trying to find all the pieces of my childhood that still exist…which is harder to do after most of them burned down.
