Certainly love your channel & being able to see each week's intro and outres from TCM's "Noir Alley". Please keep up the good work. Thanks a thousand times over. And may YOU, all your loved ones, all your viewers & noir fans everywhere have a VERY Happy, Joyous & Wonderful New Year !!
@@erickjrmaldonadoherrera4531 I think he may have done that twice. But this year TCM had all the hosts together for New Year's Eve for a few films. www.tcm.com/articles/Programming%20Article/021949/new-years-eve-with-the-hosts I will post Eddie's segments around 'Repeat Performance (1947)' shown last night.
Might want to check out criterionchannel.com. Loads of curated good films across many genres, including noir. And classic Hollywood films across decades, shorts, independent films and so on. Oh, and filmmaker interviews.
Eddie, Thank you for the rich information about The Postman Always Rings Twice. Louis Mayer was a hypocrite for holding the Postman Film for 12 years knowing about His Personal Escapades behind Closed Doors. Thank you to Robert Osborn for saving those excellent pieces of Memorabilia. I wish I had been exposed to Lana Turner at age eight, Donna Reed may have been placed on the Back Burner if I had. Jane Greer's Entrance in the "Out Of The Past" Film affected me the same way as Lana did in Postman. Donna Reed will always be my Number One.
Boy, JM Cain sure looks like a no-nonsense type! "Who do you think you are fooling?", he seems to say. But actually, he was a product of the American upper middle class. Dad graduated from Yale, was a professor at St John's College, Annapolis; mother trained in music & opera. He earned an MA in English Lit, & was an editor at The New Yorker briefly. And you know, his grammar is perfect. Cain had some great books on the level of Hammet & Chandler. He just didn't have a Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, or Nick Charles. However, what he did give us was Mildred Pierce, an American Everywoman, & Walter Neff, Phyllis Dietrichson, & Mr Barton Keyes, the insurance investigator of all time. So we must never complain. But "Postman", now... I still don't like J. Garfield - he usually over-acts & is about as romantic as a punch on the jaw. Poor Lana Turner, she's out of her acting depth even with Garfield. The best part is the mix-up about the notarized confessions with the hilarious shady lawyer. I was a notary once, not sure this could ever hapoen but it is entertaining. Anyway, if you're interested, the novel is so much better than the movie. That's a rarity with these famous, great Noir classics. 🤔
@@RoseyTucker Cain & his family worked very hard for what they had - professors & beginning writers typically do not make tons of money. If Cain was "upper class" where does that put the Rockefellers, Kennedys, & their ilk? Cain doesn't look, & didn't appear to be, particularly arrogant. But thanks for watching the channel & posting.

@@NoirFan77 thanks that's great to hear..
I admire these greatly. I live "in the shadows"
Right On! A man after my own heart!
Let's get TCM as a streaming option add on and once again make these wonderful films available. There is a desert of junk on the streaming services.
Yes, Please.
@NomadicBrian
I think there's a universe of junk & a desert of great, or even good films.

As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point !
@@NoirFan77 Thanks for the "heads up" !!
As the lights go out......
The shadows creep in.
As Snagglepuss would say, "Indubitably!"

I don't even watch the movies, I just come to see the intro and outro.

Thanks for this! Although I don't agree re Garfield, it was a worthy contribution to the channel.
@ameryek9607
I don't know about no nonsense. But, with his very privledged upper class background, he sure looks self entitled, and arrogant.

@NoirFan77 Thanks for posting these so quickly, Noir Fan. You may admire Garfield all you like! Have a prosperous new year 🕛
