“So long suckers!” We’re off to Le Giornate Del Cinema Muto, #Pordenone, #Italy

#FilmNoir fans, you have an appointment with Marilyn (1953) (aka Roadhouse Girl in the US) on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social , 10:40am this morning. This is a classic b movie #BritNoir directed by Wolf Rilla and starring Sandra Dorne and Maxwell Reed. It’s pretty good in fact.
