I was born in NYC, but moved to Chicago when I was eight years old. It's almost 60 years later. I hope to visit soon and visit the Palace and many other sites.

Great work by @tcmtv.bsky.social for their interstitials, and mini-docs like the one I'm watching now for the umpteenth time on the United Palace. Many years from now there will still be many people interested in this stuff. #TCMParty.

I'm betting they liked her. They really liked her.

Was at a Charlton Heston movie marathon at the Biograph theatre in Chicago. When Eddie G. Robinson was dying in Soylent Green the lights came up & in walked Heston himself. Not a fan of his politics, but when he spoke it was clear, here's a movie star! #TCMParty #NoirAlley #BlackTuesdat

Never thought I'd see the professor die that way.

Wow
Police Inspector:
"Go ahead - put it in your papers. Tell them I've got no feelings, I didn't do anything to help those people up there, I'm a disgrace to my own church for letting a priest die. Canelli and Manning's comin' out feet first before I leave here."

This is the start of a long and vicious shootout.

I think Vincent Canelli had a bad childhood.

Don't know much about the actor playing Hattie, Jean Parker. But saw this on Wikipedia: "journalist Ronald Bergan noted Parker as an under-valued actress whose career was stifled by the studio system who gave her "too little chance to shine.""

Jeepers. Why isn't Edward G. Robinson's Vincent Canelli's mentioned as one of the most despicable characters in movie history? #BlackTuesday #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Every lamp Stanley Cortez points at an actor is placed slightly above the eyeline to create these great shadows.

Brutal is a perfect description

Andrija Popovic @andrian6.bsky.social · 2d

I've only heard about the brutal #BlackTuesday. Looking forward to seeing it on #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Aldo Gandia @aldobarkeeper.bsky.social · 2d

Every week I look forward to the #NoirAlley screenings; not only for the artistry in these films, but they also provide a temporary respite from the horrors of the Trump presidency. Thank you to the like-minded film lovers/citizens who will engage with me tonight. #TCMParty #BlackTuesday #NoKings

After #TheBigStreet & #NewYorkConfidential Eddie is screening an exceptional noir tonight. I'm glad to have seen those two other October pix, but they are nowhere near the quality of #blacktuesday

When I went to Columbia College in the 80s for filmmaking, I had no idea that the Kodak Triax film I was given to make my dumb movies was so important to American noirs. #blacktuesday #tcmparty #noiralley
