Before DOUBLE INDEMNITY is on @tcmtv.bsky.social later tonight, I decided to watch DARK PASSAGE. It's become one of my favorite film noirs. #Noirvember #TCMParty #filmnoir

Favorite musical performance in a film noir. Tough one because Gilda has many, but I’m going with Claire Trevor in KEY LARGO. It’s an amazing performance. #FilmNoir #Noirvember #TCMParty

I remember this joke!
I remember we had this "joke" in grade school...
Q. How many letters are there in the alphabet?
A. 26
Follow-up: No, it's 22 because JR got shot & ET went home
😂😂😂 #GenX

I absolutely ADORE Vincent Price in this movie, especially the scene where they're all in the boat and it sinks. Leaves me howling with laughter every time. #TCMParty #Noirvember

Should I be a total geek and bring Rick Atkinson's Italian campaign trilogy books so he can sign them at his talk tonight (even though the talk is on the American Revolution?)
