OK, let’s organize this, #NoirAlley gang! The Czar of Noir has agreed to join in on an alternative noir watch party during the upcoming Noir Alley hiatus.

So do a watch party thing and I’ll participate. Bad Bunny has me feeling super-good and magnanimous!

#ViceSquad was a good one on #NoirAlley. Guess the ol' #NoirChecklist goes on ice and I'll be clearing off the DVR for the next month to get my #noir fix. See all you noiristas at the #TCMParty...

The crisp cinematography of #ViceSquad is by Joseph Biroc, who began in silents before shooting low-budget noirs in the 50s and becoming one of the busiest DPs of the 60s and 70s, shooting The Longest Yard, Blazing Saddles, and the Towering Inferno, for which he won an Oscar. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

#ViceSquad just taking swipe at the vapidity of television, like a lot of 1950s films did. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

I like how the Captain just keeps a dramatically-acting floozy on staff just to put the screws on potential witnesses with trumped-up charges. #ViceSquad #TCMParty #NoirAlley

OK, hold up a minute– cops blatantly lie to get information?

All these crooks are pretty snazzy dressers- I wouldn't mind some of these wool suits they're strutting around in.

Had to work late last night, so here for an unusual early morning #NoirAlley that looks to produce a stellar #NoirChecklist, with Eddie M presenting Eddie G in the bluntly named #ViceSquad! #TCMParty

It’s a tough gig, but there’s a lot of #SuperBowl parties and somebody’s gotta work them.

Holy f-stop, I didn't realize that #InvadersFromMars was shot (in this weird Super Cinecolor process) by John F. Seitz, who shot pretty much all of Billy Wilder and Preston Sturges's best films- including Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard- en route to his seven Oscar nominations. #TCMParty

Besides the harp, Harpo taught himself how to play several other instruments. He was pretty talented musically. #TCMParty #ANightAtTheOpera
