Love old films and music. Classic (and not so classic).

Given the state of things, I have to take joy from the little things. Therefore, I'm happy to see that my favorite 007 score (and my favorite Bond film) is being released in an expanded form.
.. it goes without saying that composer John Barry is a legend.

So many, but I'll go with THE BREAKING POINT as Lucy Morgan (Phyllis Thaxter) refuses to concede to the femme fatale (Patrica Neal's Leona Charles) - and proves she can hold her liquor with the best of them. 👏🧐

“In A Lonely Place” is the better film, but her performance as Debby Marsh in #TheBigHeat was quintessential - sexy, playful yet tough. ❤️

"Scarlett Street"
Duryea is so deliciously over the top.
"Can't you get those Lazy Legs off that couch, baby?"
PS: And in this case, he is correct. Oscar Madison has nothing on Kitty "Lazy Legs" March (Joan Bennett). She is a slob.

"Yes I do. No, No, No, I still love the man I killed."
This isn't quite the response that Robert wanted to hear. But at-least Leslie is honest.

IIRC, #TheLetter was one of the first films that I saw on #NoirAlley. If film noir has a "supernational" sub-group this, is it IMO.

The mere mention of the lovely Lee Remick 😍 sent me googling. It was a 1982 made for TV movie and according to wiki, Remick was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. I don't remember it, but her version is on Youtube.

Nice use of *threatening tones* with the "Miss Green" into office scene. Somehow, I think Mr. Smalls wanted to do more than dictate a letter. Quite effective.

According to imdb #BlindSpot contains several references to "The Lost Weekend" so it should be interesting.

Today’s film #Blindspot - seems to be a short one (<75 minutes), and other than Martin Goldsmith (screenplay) I know nothing about it.

Catching the tail end of #PrideAndPrejudice reminds me that I must re-watch it. That is quite the cast - Laurence Olivier and Meryl Streep (I mean Greer Garson 🧐 ).

#NoirvemberChallenge (day 8: Favorite line)
“I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.”
Perhaps no other line better sums up the fatalistic nature of film noir. It also inspired a great 80s ballad.
