The final night of @tcmtv.bsky.social Myrna Loy retrospective and as always the NY Daily News has spotlighted it for it's viewers. #TCMParty

During Noir City New York, I recall Eddie Muller mentioning that he would be traveling later in the year. #TCMParty #NoirAlley moreliafilmfest.com/en/force-evi...

I think that this is the 2nd time I've watched Robert Osborne's interview with Eva Marie Saint in full - although I've seen bits and pieces over the years. Great questions (Otto Preminger .. not surprised 🤣) and great responses. #TCMParty

"... so, I fired him" - Eva Marie Saint That is a great story about having a sense of yourself and pushing back. #TCMParty

Robert Osborne AND Eva Marie Saint. I miss them both. #TCMParty

Has @tcmtv.bsky.social ever devote an evening highlighting William Castle? A personal favorite: "The Night Walker" - Stanwyck's only horror turn. #TCMParty

If anything #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill was even better the second time around. My 2027 goal is to add more foreign films into my viewing mix (and no, Godzilla doesn't really count), and Truffaut’s 1973 Day for Night will be a must. Until next week ... #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

The old, poisoned drink glass switch trick! Good for Viktoria / Karin. .. and Margaret has her own agenda. #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

"Have some orange juice Karin. I'm sure nothing will happen." (But if it does .......) #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

"You are afraid, aren't you?" Well duh!!! #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

Very effective use of shadows in this scene - where Viktoria / Karin is looking for evidence. #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

WOW! Frank Bullitt has nothing on Viktoria/Karin. #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

Does Viktoria/Karin have her doubts about Alan Spender? Could be!!!!! 🤣 #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

🎶 torn between two lovers feeling like a fool. ... 🎶 PS: William Lundigan has such a pleasing manner. #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

Somehow, I don't think that the kid's toy chemical set did that! #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

William Lundigan (Major Marc Bennett) is also known to sci-fi fans for 1954’s “Riders To The Stars” (e/ Martha Hyer) and from the 1959 TV show “Men Into Space”. I highly recommend the latter - and you can find it on YouTube. #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

Valentina Cortese (1923-2019) appreciation post. On a personal level, one of the great by-products of TCM (and especially #NoirAlley) is that it's a weekly education about the greats of classic film. And in the cast of Ms. Cortese, a great of world cinema. #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill

Raise your hand if in seeing Richard Basehart you went: "That's Admiral Nelson!" ✋ #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

Borrowed identity. (per "No Man Of her Own?) Viktoria has become Karin. #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

Eddie Muller's Richard Basehart teaser!!!! We know, we know! ... "I now pronounce you ....." ❤️ #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

Eddie! Everyone's earlier posts had me worried. #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

Good morning fellow noir fans. Saw today’s film earlier this week and IMO we’re in for a treat. In addition to the outstanding cast, we have Robert Wise directing and Lucien Balllard providing the cinematography to a kind a gothic-noir hybrid. #TCMParty #TheHouseOnTelegraphHill #NoirAlley

A bit early in the day for a Godzilla film, but I love it. Yeah @tcmtv.bsky.social put these in PRIME TIME! PS: Ghidorah will be making the scene in the upcoming #GodzillaMinusZero. #TCMParty #ghidorahthethreeheadedmonster

.. and Ghidorah flees the scene after being beaten by the combined teamwork of Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra. And as we learn in the next film ("Invasion of Astro-Monster") it is headed back "home" to planet X. #TCMParty #GhidorahtheThreeHeadedMonster

And the head assassin has just been taken out by a (foam) rockslide - caused by the monster fight! #TCMParty #GhidorahtheThreeHeadedMonster

The "conversation" among Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra is one of those reasons why I love these movies so much. It's so *out there* that you can't help but smile. ... and after rejecting the initial offer, Godzilla and Rodan join the fight! #TCMParty #GhidorahtheThreeHeadedMonster

... and with Mothra the line-up is now complete! 😎 Mothra will now play the role of "Kissinger" as she (it?) tries to convince Godzilla and Rodan to team up and fight Ghidorah. #TCMParty #GhidorahthethreeheadedMonster

Professor Murai is played by long time staple of these films: actor Hiroshi Koizumi (1926-2015). Interestingly, several of the actors in this film are playing variations of the same roles they played in "Mothra" - released earlier the same year (1964) #TCMParty #GhidorahtheThreeHeadedMonster

Note: Dr. Tsukamoto is played by the legendary Takashi Shimura. #TCMParty #Ghidorahthethreeheadedmonster

It may not be mentioned in the same breath as "Harry Lime" ("The Third Man"), but Ghidorah's introduction always gives me the chills. So dramatic! "... look, it's taking some kind of form" (US version) #TCMParty #GhidorahtheThreeHeadedMonster

Detective Shindo (Naoko's brother) is played by Yosuke Natsuki (1936-2018). He will be the Gregory Peck/James Bond of this film. 😆 #TCMParty #GhidorahtheThreeHeadedMonster

... and Godzilla makes the scene. And - as always - Godzilla has a *thing* for ships at sea (he destroys them!) #TCMParty #ghidorahthethreeheadedmonster

Our princess is played by future Bond Girl Akiko Wakabayashi (1939-) #TCMParty #GhidorahThethreeheadedMonster

... and Rodan makes the scene! As well as the entire assassin gang - one of whom is attempting to channel Pete Lorre/ James Cagey! #GhidorahtheThreeHeadedMonster #TCMParty

Actress Yuriko Hoshi (1943-2018) ❤️ #GhidorahtheThreeHeadedMonster #TCMParty

#GhidorahtheThreeHeadedMonster Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra go head-to-head to head to fight a monster from space called (King) Ghidorah. A monster mash, a sub-plot that borrows from *both* "Roman Holiday* AND James Bond! What more could you ask for?! 😎 #TCMParty

Up next: My all-time favorite "I'm calling in *sick* today" movie". Casablanca (no), 2001 (no), it is ...... #GhidorahTheThreeHeadedMonster! Ahh, yes in glorious TOHOSCOPE !!!!! #TCMParty

Thanks to @willmckinley.bsky.social for tonight's screening of #Nightfall. And thanks - as always - to the rest of the #TheNoirCollective team for another enjoyable and informative evening. Until next week: stay safe in the shadows.

Waiting on Eddie Muller's outro on the version that I'm streaming. That was very good. It is interesting how even though certain aspects of the *look* of noir changed over the years, it is still definitely NOIR. An innocent man - up against fate - must rally and survive. #TheNoirCollective

"Border Incident" vibes incoming. #TheNoirCollective #Nightfall

James and Marie are now an item. I guess running away with a guy suspected of murder is a turn-on. Who knew! #TheNoirCollective #Nightfames

They looked like "unmatched bookends" is an expression that just screams NOIR! #TheNoirCollective #Nightfall

"You won't have to make anymore payments." (on the car) "Red" has a sadistic streak to put it kindly. #TheNoirCollective #Nightfall

"I used to ask myself the same question, "Why me?" Because you were unlucky enough to talk to me tonight." This question comes up a lot in film noir: "Why me?" The cross-section of fate and random events. #TheNoirCollective #Nightfall

Nice transition to the "how did this all start?" flashback. Eddie Muller made a point in the intro, that the need to show these films on TV meant that the high contrast lighting that would have been used in the past could no longer be used (looked bad on the TVs of the era). #TheNoirCollective

James goes to sleep with the radio on. Now would Frazier know that? #TheNoirCollective #Nightfall

My first watch of “Nightfall” but It’s going to be a major adjustment in seeing “Uncle Bill” (Brian Keith) as a bad guy. Buffy, Jody and Cissy are also going to be so disappointed. #TheNoirCollective #Nightfall

Jocelyn Brando is back from the DEAD! #TheNoirCollective #Nightfall
