Al: I'll have the chicken croquettes with the cream sauce and the green peas and the mashed potatoes. (“The Killers” 1946)

Highlight of the WDW trip for me was hanging at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant and watching all the snippets from the “classics” while dining with the fam.
Thought I’d jump into @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social ‘s #TopShelfFriday a bit early with a recent acquisition. This Boris Villejo cover might be at the top of the Savage Sword mag run for some. What I do know is that it took me longer to land a decent copy of this fifth issue than it did my #1. ⚔️

Day 13: Favorite “b” film noir.

“Sims. Homicide. Because murder is my business. And midnight is my beat.”-Det. Lt. Sims (Sterling Hayden from the trailer.)
Love the grit in this one and the on location shots in L.A.

Today’s watch: “J” is for “Johnny O’Clock” (1947). "Dry your eyes and blow your nose—in the order named."
Powell spitting one liners for 90 straight minutes. Perfect.

Today’s Subbing Highlight: I’m going to make sure I return to see the finished product based on this story map alone.
(Captain America, The Hulk, and Godzilla….because that just made things a lot more interesting.)

Subbing today. As a retired teacher I know that this will be essential. 😉

Day 11: Favorite Bar Scene
Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (Elevator to the Gallows) 1958.
A Parisian club where Florence (Jeanne Moreau) is in desperate search of her lover, Julien. Pure fatigue with Miles Davis’s score score crowning scene.

Today’s watch: “I” is for “Inside Detroit” (1956). One that oozes UAW union vs. mob at the b-level. Worth the watch, but don’t tell ‘em I tipped you off.

Day 10: Favorite Gloria Grahame in a Noir Film: “In A Lonely Place” (1950). The Academy could have handed these two a statuette and been spot on with their picks.

Today’s watch: “H” is for “Hi-Jacked” (1950). Terrific 66 minute gem that makes you truly cheer for our framed up hero. Plus, a number of stops at a neat little truck stop diner where the coffee flows.☕️

Day 9: Favorite Dan Duryea in a Noir Film
I’ll toss in with “Scarlet Street” (1945). Loved how he was “formally” introduced with a record skipping in the background. Brilliant as was everyone’s performance.

Today’s watch: “G” is for “Gun Crazy” (1950). Not going to get much more certifiably “off her rocker” femme fatale-ish than Annie Laurie Star (Peggy Cummins). OK, Anne Savage in Detour,but considering Annie’s aim, well….

And for the record, one of the best noir posters!

Day 8: Favorite Line in Film Noir: J.J. Hunsecker: “Son, I don’t relish shooting a mosquito with an elephant gun, so why don’t you just shuffle along?”

Love all Lancaster’s acerbic quips in “Sweet Smell of Success” (1957)

Today’s watch: “F” is for “Fingerprints Don’t Lie” (1951). This is on one of my forgotten noir box sets. I can see why it made the cut. Think of it as an early, low budget inspiration for CSI.

Coolest Film Noir Character: Marie "Slim" Browning played by Lauren Bacall in her debut film, “To Have and Have Not” (1944). Controls the narrative. Tames Bogey? That is a new level of coolness.

Today’s watch: “E” is for “Each Dawn I Die” (1939) Cagney. Raft. Wish these two would have had more leading roles together. Great chemistry when they shared scenes. (Truly a noir? Debatable. Highly enjoyable? Money!)

Day 5: Film noir you’d show someone that has never seen one. Toughy. I’ll take “The Killers” (1946). Has all the elements plus the bonus of the first few scenes that leaves the first time watcher saying, “What the hell just happened?”

Today’s watch: “D” is for “Down 3 Dark Streets (1954). Brodrick Crawford is nails in this well put together FBI procedural with three crimes that tie together….or do they?

Day 4: Film Noir Ahead Of Its Time: “In A Lonely Place” (1950). A Nicholas Ray psychological masterpiece.
So complex in its force we are left uncomfortable and squirming throughout. One of Bogey’s and Graham’s best.

Today’s watch: “C” is for “Canon City” (1948). Nice little jailbreak b-film that predictably moves along with elements of narration, on location shots of the Colorado state penitentiary, and cameos of a few familiar character actors.
And DeForest Kelley as Smalley!
