Always love coming away from #NoirAlley because I learn so much! Thanks @eddiemuller.bsky.social for all the background on the making of #TheSecondWoman and telling us more about its leading lady Betsy Drake. It was a fun watch. There were some noirishly lit interior scenes to enjoy, too. #TCMParty
Well, #TheSecondWoman was no Rebecca, Suspicion or Laura ๐ผ๏ธ ๐ ๐, but glad I watched again with my fellow noiristas and saw how Ellen's efforts got us to the culprit reveal (2 culprits, really).Thanks @eddiemuller.bsky.social!
YAYYY! Barbara Stanwyck in #CrimeofPassion next week! #NoirAlley #TCMParty
Definitely gif material.

I'm not sure how shareable it is, since uploaded gif usually get converted to stills when published.

A good friend was on Days of Our Lives in the โ90s and he calls the scene-ending mode @eddiemuller.bsky.social identifies โDid I leave the oven on?โ #TheSecondWoman #NoirAlley #TCMParty
Well that was "interesting." Not too bad, but no need to watch again.

I must admit that I enjoyed #TheSecondWoman. A bit slow, but I really liked Betsy Drake.
The TCM schedule for Sat/Sun is really packed with noir, so I hope everyone gets their sleep this week. ๐ง
... this trailer for "Mildred Pierce" is so "Citizen Kane" (IYKYK)

The Drake Hotel figures in a neo-noir, the first Mission Impossible, with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise).

If I recall after their divorce she continued to go by Betsy Drake Grant.

Someone who makes gifs needs to put this into the world. #TheSecondWoman #NoirAlley #TCMParty
The movie had ... a plot? Yes, it was def a plot. #TheSecondWoman #NoirAlley #TCMParty
Animal action in #TheSecondWoman was NOT monitored by the American Humane Association #TCMParty #NoirAlley
I had to quickly rewind because I didn't catch @eddiemuller.bsky.social's villain look earlier.

S/O to Dr. Red Herring ๐ญ #TheSecondWoman #NoirAlley #TCMParty
That ending was a bit truncated. #TheSecondWoman #NoirAlley #TCMParty
He's a psychopath, but he'll be fine, in time. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #TheSecondWoman
And one last wavy libidinous nod to Hitch. #TheSecondWoman #NoirAlley #TCMParty
Or a malpractice attorney.

Good lord - a cheesy remake of Tchaikovsky music at the end complete with crashing waves. Could it get more dopey and clichรฉd? #TCMParty #TheSecondWoman #NoirAlley
Psychopathic killers and Fall River mentioned in the same sentence! Whack! #TheSecondWoman #TCMParty #NoirAlley
I couldn't really get into #TheSecondWoman. The concept is interesting--a cross between Rebecca and Suspicion, but it just didn't grab me. Pleasant enough, but not great. #TCMParty #NoirAlley
