#Noirvember 19/30 ~ 'Maybe you've learnt to like hurting people?' Veteran Alan Ladd is an innocent yet war-damaged fugitive; Veronica Lake crosses his path. Raymond Chandler speedily wrote the scenario for The Blue Dahlia (George Marshall, 1946) fueled by vitamins and Bourbon.

Noirvember 18/30 ~ James Cagney has his moments as the ruthless and psychotic gangster Cody Jarett, as does Margaret Wycherly as his beloved though equally crooked mother: White Heat (Raoul Walsh, 1949) revives the gangster movie genre of the decade before.

#Noirvember 17/30 ~ Orson Welles excells both as a director (that opening tracking shot!) and as an imposing Hank Quinlan, your most corrupt police officer. The final masterpiece of the 'classic' noir era: Touch of Evil (1958).

#Noirvember 16/30 ~ The violent ghosts that haunt demobilised soldiers: a theme in several noirs. Edward Dmytryk's Crossfire (1947) adds anti-semitism to the mix, making it less outdated than I would have expected.

#Noirvember 15/30 ~ Why is Burt Lancaster just stoically awaiting being murdered and how fatale can a femme be? Ava Gardner's selfishness and sexuality destroy quite some machismo in Robert Siodmak's The Killers (1946).

#Noirvember 14/30 ~ In Stanley Kubrick's The Killing (1956), a criminal's last heist - set on a horse race track and told in four different perspectives - leads to a gritty, violent movie full of greedy, despicable characters. 🤡

#Noirvember 13/30 'Murder is my favorite crime.' A rather polished noir on obsession and falling in love with a painting: Gene Tierney stars in Otto Preminger's Laura (1944).

#Noirvember 12/30 ~ A prequel of the stuff noirs are made of, I love The Maltese Falcon (1941) for Bogie as Sam Spade, a trail of great and grotesque characters, and Huston's low angled ceiling shots.

#Noirvember 11/30 ~ 'If we don't, remember me'. A doomed hitch-hiker, a brutal, even sadist private eye, and a Cold war Pandora's box opened in Robert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly (1955).

#Noirvember 10/30 ~ A terrific movie; cynical, witty and faithful to Chandler's novel (Farewell, my lovely): Dick Powell kicks ass as Philip Marlowe in Edward Dmytryk's Murder, my sweet (1944).
