Peculiar that after a judge told Trump Admin that having national guard was unlawful and to withdraw the troops. Now this happens. I’ve no doubt this was set up.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 26: Favorite #NeoNoir - Heat (1995)

There’s no question. I love this film. My all time favorite DeNiro film. It’s also among the late Val Kilmer’s best roles.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 23: Favorite #FilmNoir supporting/character actor who steals every scene. - Van Heflin,

Heflin is great in every film but in particular as Jeff Hartnett in Johnny Eager (1941).

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 22: Favorite Musical Performance in a #FilmNoir - Odds Against Tomorrow (1959)

I love this club scene with Mae Barnes singing "All Men Are Evil". The smoke a perfect (though unhealthful) addition for the ambience.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 19: Favorite Boxing #FilmNoir:

I'm going to give some love to 99 River Street (1953) because I know another title will get the most love.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 16: Lesser known #FilmNoir everyone should see. Lured (1947)

Starring everyone's favorite red head. Lucille Ball had good dramatic acting chops and is quite witty in this film.

#NoirvemberChallenge Day 12: Sexiest #FilmNoir - Human Desire (1954)

The title says it all. Add Gloria Grahame to the cast, and it’s bound to be steamy. I’m not much of a Glenn Ford fan but I definitely found him hot in this film.
