Of course, I'm now tempted to put together a bunch of themed groupings. How about Women Over Forty Noir Rushmore? Thelma Ritter, Gloria Swanson, Hope Emerson, Elsa Lanchester.

It's Day 14 of the #NoirvemberChallenge Who is on the Film Noir Mt. Rushmore? This one is especially tricky, because it's not asking for favorites it's asking for most objectively iconic and recognizable. With that in mind, how about Bogart, Wilder, Chandler and Alton?

Lucky Day 13 of the #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Low Budget B Film Noir. I'm going with Blast of Silence. Shot without a permit on the streets of NYC, this ten cent flick is lean and mean, pitch-black and also the best Christmas movie ever made.
![Still from Blast of Silence. A man in a stingy-brim hat and trenchcoat walking past the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in NYC. Caption reads: [Narrator ] Funny. Your hands are cold when you think of Christmas.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yhoio5o5pmaat6kqvv7yq36j/bafkreihvtj6rm3c3y5iebqt5klawilgjmjvso4ddzjnx55ytz6aqx5n6a4@jpeg)

Day 12 of the #NoirvemberChallenge - Sexiest Film Noir?
My default answer to this question is Gilda, but this year I'm offering up the lesser-known but equally bisexual Desert Fury. Pretty much everybody has fucked, is fucking or wants to fuck everybody else in this one.

Late last night, @sarahweinman.com 's new book Without Consent popped up on my book machine and I haven't been able to put it down. All her books are amazing, but this one is required fucking reading in our current era when women's bodily autonomy is under renewed assault.

Day 11 of the #NoirvemberChallenge - Favorite Bar Scene or Cocktail in a Film Noir. For the first (and probably only) time, I'm going Neo on this one with The Last Seduction.

Also, special shout out to Duryea's performance in noir-adjacent western Winchester '73. Proof of my theory that noir isn't about the style of hat, but about what goes on under that hat.

Day 9 of the #NoirvemberChallenge Favorite Dan Duryea Film Noir. Love him in everything, but my pick is Too Late for Tears. "Don't ever change, Tiger. I don't think I'd like you with a heart."

Day 8 of the #NoirvemberChallenge "Now You're Talking, Noir!" Favorite Line in a Film Noir. There are so many it's hard to choose. "Strictly poison under the gravy." "You're a cookie full of arsenic." But I'm going with Jan Sterling in Ace in the Hole "I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons."
