After #TheBigStreet & #NewYorkConfidential Eddie is screening an exceptional noir tonight. I'm glad to have seen those two other October pix, but they are nowhere near the quality of #blacktuesday

I’m glad the Sunday morning crowd had the same reaction to #TheBigStreet, a title that’s got NOTHING to do with the story unless it’s the big street from New York to Miami. I woke up mad about it. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

As I noted last night, I first saw it in the ‘70s, and it just seemed like a big ol’ soapy drama. Did TCM call it a noir? I think if you start claiming #TheBigStreet is a noir, it’s a slippery slope before you find yourself making the case for Dark Victory, Kitty Foyle and The Lady Eve, you know? 😉

Loved getting such fantastic Damon Runyun background from @eddiemuller.bsky.social (including how #TheBigStreet fit into #NoirAlley this week😁). But my favorite part was hearing about Eddie's father "just doing a Damon Runyun" and seeing his 'Damon Runyun Favorites' book! #Runyonesque #TCMParty

Just wanted to say, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. This sequence is suspension of disbelief on steroids. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheBigStreet

Well, that was ..... interesting.
Hot Takes:
1. Eddie's discussion about Damon Runyon was very informative.
2. Henry Fonda never "phoned in" a performance. 👍
3. Lucille Ball is fairly good in dramatic roles IMO.
Still, after this ... bring on NY Confidential!

The Ray-Collins-was-never-young hypothesis remains intact. #NoirAlley #TheBigStreet #TCMParty

Of course, viewers of #LaverneAndShirley already do. In this film, we have schlemiels, schmucks, perhaps a schlimazel, and so much schmaltz. #TheBigStreet #NoirAlley #TCMParty

I just noticed that the way @eddiemuller.bsky.social speaks is very Runyonesque. Especially today.

I’m glad she’s dead. #TheBigStreet #TCMParty #NoirAlley

I honestly think this is—despite playing a despicable character—Lucille Ball’s best works #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheBigStreet

They should have used the original death scene, but they were probably right to omit the epilogue

Does she have to give the dress back now? #TheBigStreet #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Can’t say I love that ending. #TheBigStreet #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Wasn’t expecting that ending. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheBigStreet

Ok Eddie, I'm gonna need a real noir movie next week.

Eddie, it wasn’t just the end that was weird.
#TheBigStreet #TCMParty

Damn.....
#TheBigStreet on #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Dammit! They had to kill her?

#TheBigStreet. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #DamonRunyon

Oh my god. Did she die?
That was unexpected.
What a strange ending.

She's dead, Jim. #TCMParty #TheBigStreet

I hope no one was looking for a happy ending.

Red heads are bad luck. The studio execs were notoriously superstitious. Except for
Rhonda Fleming
Deborah Kerr
Susan Hayward

I mean, how can we go wrong with the moment. #TCMparty #NoirAlley #TheBigStreet

Much later the Damon Runyon with Apple Annie (Bette Davis) had a silly setup like this too. Doing good for no good reason.

But she was a lot more likeable.

I keep thinking if it had been, say, Maureen O’Hara instead of Lucille Ball maybe it would have improved the picture.
