J.J.’s sinister glasses were a practical effect. James Wong Howe smeared Burt Lancaster’s lenses with Vaseline or oil and lit them from high and close, deepening his eye sockets and turning the glasses into an opaque, masklike shield. #TCMParty #SweetSmellOfSuccess ^JW #SummerOfDarkness

Strong way to start the final night of.. #SummerOfDarkness #NowWatching #TCMParty

I am saddened to hear about the imminent closure of the historic Heart’s Coffee Shop in Valley Village, CA. Naturally a friend and I had to go and bid it a fond farewell with one last meal.

William Conrad appreciation post: His breakout role as the gunman wanting the big dinner in The Killers (’46), Conrad played the ultimate sidekick in supporting roles like Body and Soul (’47), Tension (’49), The Racket (’51), and Cry Danger (’51). #filmnoir Your favorite?

NEXT WED, #TheNoirCollective and #TCMParty – in an unprecedented feat of derring-do – join forces for a MAN HUNT (1941). I’ll be hosting this proto-noir classic – directed by Fritz Lang – which airs on TCM in our usual slot. And for those without TCM, we’ll be posting a link to watch, as always. 😊

"With me, it's mostly something I see in the movies. If it's a lousy movie, I don't leave, which I should, but my mind drifts, and something that I see may just trigger an alternative idea." — Richard Matheson, writer of 14 Twilight Zone episodes, on where he got his inspiration

Going on vacation...what #filmnoir classics should I pack? 📽️ Too Late for Tears (1949) starring Lizabeth Scott.

John Dall and Peggy Cummins risk it all in GUN CRAZY (1950) #filmnoir #classicfilm

There’s something I love about noir scenes and diners. (The Killers, 1946, for example.)
