John Garfield in Force of Evil (1948) #FilmNoir

#BornOnThisDay the great John Garfield (1913-1952). Plenty of superb #FilmNoir titles under his belt. Any particular favourites?! #OTD

It’s hard to believe I drew this three years ago. It’s actually good.. 😂

Good morning.

It's hard to pick a favorite Ida Lupino #FilmNoir because I like all of them, but a lesser known one is Private Hell 36 (1954) ~ directed by Don Siegel...

Ida Lupino. #WomenInNoir
A legend in front of and behind the camera, she's a #filmnoir force that credits singer, director, writer, and producer to her resume. During her 48-year career, she appeared in 59 films and directed 8.

What's your favorite?

#NowWatching a favorite Charles McGraw #filmnoir, #TheNarrowMargin. It's worth noting that costar Jacqueline White is still with us at age 103.

One of the greats. In a Lonely Place, Ride the Pink Horse, and The Expendable Man secure her place, not just in crime but literature.

THE SO BLUE MARBLE was a revelation. So damn good.

Celebrating #WomensHistoryMonth with #WomenInNoir with Dorothy Hughes, crime writer, literary critic, and historian. Hughes wrote 14 novels, primarily crime/hardboiled & #filmnoir styles like The Fallen Sparrow ('42) In a Lonely Place ('47), & Ride the Pink Horse ('46).

"The New York World's Fair? That means we're in ... "

"1939. We came back, but we didn't come back far enough."
