“Being There”
Often wonder why this is not shown on broadcasts
more often. Remember it was seen only once on the
small screen. Once! after all these years.

Quite fond of “The Thin Man” movies; and,
Ellery Queen. “Shadow of a Doubt” with Joseph
Cotton and Teresa Wright is also very good.

Please, count me in.

I’m pretty sure that’s a link to the full movie. Eddie Muller does a great lead in for when it does roll back around on Noir Alley.

Wiki (FWIW)..... The term film noir, .... was first applied to Hollywood films by French critic Nino Frank in 1946, but was unrecognized by most American film industry professionals of that era.[3] .....Before the notion was widely adopted in the 1970s, many of the classic films noir[a] were referred to as "melodramas"

I dont think Joe 6PK or Joe McDoakes would have known what it was being called by the French, during the theater runs.Probalby called them "crime movies" or "gangster "movies.

I can still hear the music and the ticking clock! Thanks for the memory.

We watched “Thunder Road” here a couple of weeks ago.
