Day 4 of the #NoirvemberChallenge is Favorite Newspaper Noir. My absolutely favorite is Sweet Smell of Success (1957). Tony Curtis turns in an Oscar-caliber performance and Burt Lancaster will make you glad you don't know his J.J. Hunsecker in real life. #Noirvember

What are you talking about? There were no voting irregularities at my polling place today. None whatsoever!
Celebrating Lois Smith, who turns 96 today! I know her best from East of Eden, Five Easy Pieces, and Fried Green Tomatoes.
Day 3 of the #NoirvemberChallenge is Favorite noir that you recently discovered -- mine is The Come-On (1956), with Anne Baxter and Sterling Hayden. I learned about it from one of my favorite YouTube channels, @cinemacities, and it was everything I could've wanted. #Noirvember
There's a treasure trove of classic movies on
@Tubi -- all this month on #TubiTuesday, I'll be recommending noir gems that are available on the channel. Today's quartet is Pickup on South Streeet, Private Hell 36, I Walk Alone, and The Mob. Treat yourself. #Noirvember

For #ClassicMovieMonday, I'm sharing my copy of the source material for this 1949 Lizabeth Scott film noir. I collect novels that later became classic movies, but I'm especially looking forward to diving into this one! Check out the movie -- it's free on YouTube! #Noirvember
Day 2 of the #NoirvemberChallenge is the Film Noir that Made You a Fan. Mine is the first noir I ever remember seeing -- Double Indemnity (1944). After spending almost two hours with Phyllis, I was a fan for life. #Noirvember
Day 1 of the #NoirvemberChallenge is Best Murder in a Film Noir Opening Scene. This one's a no-brainer for me: Mildred Pierce (1945) -- it's a classic! #Noirvember
I couldn't eat one more piece of Halloween candy without celebrating actress/director Lee Grant, who turns 101 today! Born Lyova Haskell Rosenthal, Grant won a best supporting actress Oscar for Shampoo, and directed the Oscar-winning documentary Down and Out in America.
