Either I made the comment you knew “Becker” was troubled when not even a solid sitcom director like Andy Ackerman could make an episode work or I meant to make that comment. This episode has Ackerman back and, this time, he’s able to compensate for some of writer Michael Markowitz’s stumbles. read more

Everybody knows about Out of the Past, Double Indemnity, Laura, The Killers, The Maltese Falcon, yada yada yada. But there are so many noirs out there that are also superb examples, but they never seem to come up when in discussions of movies from this era. Today’s Noirvember post pays tribute to read more

For my money, one of noir’s most riveting films is the 1957 noir Sweet Smell of Success.

This first-rate feature stars Burt Lancaster as powerful read more

I would call Al Adamson’s 1971 movie Dracula vs Frankenstein a guilty pleasure, but the truth is, I really don’t feel that guilty about loving it. No, I’m not going to try to make the case that DvF belongs in the horror flick pantheon alongside such movies as Universal’s orig read more

Noir Nook: Top Five Reasons Why I Love Phyllis Dietrichson If you know me at all, you’ll know that my favorite noir, hands-down, no question, is Double Indemnity (1944), which tells the story of an insurance salesman who teams with a fatal femme to murder the woman’s husband.
