Lola Lola: I knew you'd be back. They all come back for me.
The precode femme fatale became one of the most unforgettable symbols of the empowered woman. Marlene Dietrich etched her form into the era with The Blue Angel * 1930.

"I just want to be somebody."
Night in the City * 1950, directed by Jules Dassin, Richard Widmark is unforgettable as a petty crook lost in his dreams of glory.

“I'm not always great in pictures, but I'm always true to the Japanese spirit.”

NoirLand’s Golden Boy > Jules Dassin * Director
Dassin was no stranger to the mean streets of Hollywood, as he became film noir’s master craftsman during the Blacklist.
Four of his best: Brute Force * ‘47, Naked City * ‘48, Night in the City *’50 & Rififi * ‘55.

Good Girl Blues > The Blue Gardenia * 1953
Fritz Lang linked the title to the Blue Dahlia murders, with Anne Baxter playing sleuth as she covers up her own involvement. Cinematographer Nicholas Musuraca works his noir magic & Nat King Cole sets the musical mood.

Remembering Peter Lorre🌟
"Peter was the most inventive actor I've ever known. He was a great scholar, an accomplished dramatic actor, and a masterful comedian... ~Vincent Price

Remembering Richard Widmark
“I suppose I wanted to act in order to have a place in the sun. I'd always lived in small towns, and acting meant having some kind of identity.”
Two of my favorite Widmark noirs > Kiss of Death (‘47) & Pickup on South Street (‘53)🌟
