Grazie mille, @eddiemuller.bsky.social and Film Noir Foundation for #noircity22! A week of tough dames in witty repartee with thugs & saps was just what I needed. Now back to my newly-criminal job supporting LGBTQ youth. Who knew school counseling could be so noir? #noircity #femmefatale #filmnoir
And we have a second noir with medical debt as a plot device, Tomorrow is Another Day. Also, our fourth #noirchild of the week. (And earlier, in Caged, we got a #noirkitten. As opposed to Phantom Lady's "real hep kitten"!) #noircity #noircity22 #femmefatale #filmnoir
And just like that, Caged, an expose of women's prisons and the harm they do to incarcerated women & to us all, takes the lead as my favorite movie at this festival. Excruciatingly painful to watch, brilliantly written & acted by women, & still timely. #noircity #noircity22 #femmefatale #filmnoir

Favorite cigarette lighting scene in #NoirCity is Evelyn Keys in “99 River Street.” Also Brad Dexter is underrated 😄🎞️🍿 #NoirCity22
Apparently I skipped posting Alias Nick Beal last night. Maybe bc any movie in which the villain is not devil-may-care nor a handsome devil but The Literal Devil & vanquished by a Bible is... well...not my cup of noir. ❤️ Audrey Totter though. Never mind, onward!

OK, Bay Area Noir fans tonight (1/27) at the Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland, check out 99 River Street (7:00) and The Long Wait (9:00). #filmnoir #PeggieCastle #AnthonyQuinn #EvelynKeyes #NoirCity22
And before we start tonight's movies I need to mention The Killing, my third favorite Kubrick. Kubricks fall into three categories for me, cool, mid, and yuck. The Killing is cool, of course, being both noir and heist. #noircity #noircity22 #filmnoir
By the end of the evening I was too tired to post last night's movies. Out of the Past, "Not suitable for general exhibition" and too complicated for me to follow, but the dialogue and settings were pure noir, with a literally fatal femme. Delicious.

Richard Widmark wearing all black suit with dark gray hat and lighter color tie
I love Richard Widmark’s singular wardrobe in #KissOfDeath. What color would this tie have been? #NoirCity #NoirCity22 🎞️
Medical debt noir. That's a new one to me. Featuring Bellevue Hospital in a pharmaceutical opioid scheme and determina charming old man who turns out to be... Halfway through the first full day.

Alicia Malone was just completely gracious and nice to us gobsmacked fans… what a treat to meet this special person in real life!

Well that was fun. Also, the Noir Child is in as much peril as the Disaster Child! And I'm wondering how those guys get to look so dapper in jail...

Tonight is important. I will be watching Stanley Kubrick’s THE KILLING for the first time at a sold out #NoirCity22 !!
While Hell's Half Acre was actually kind of silly. But I don't mind it when my noir is kind of silly. Also, taxi dancers are one of my favorite noir tropes! #noircity #noircity22 #filmnoir #femmefatale
Noir City starts strong with The Narrow Margin, one of my favorite sub-genres, TRAIN NOIR!
