The wee gallus bloke wi' his bunnet tae the side in my profile pic is my great-uncle Bill Docherty, circa 1938. A bit of a dandy, he was probably dressed for tattie howkin here.

"You know what this is? It's the world's smallest violin playing just for the waitresses."
239 years ago, on the 30th of November 1786, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany became the first modern state to abolish the death penalty. Grand Duke Leopold I, who was influenced in the decision by the book 'On Crimes and Punishments', would later become Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II. #otd #history 🗃️

Celebrating the final day of #Noirvember and #StAndrewsDay by paying tribute to my two favourite #TartanNoir films, Shallow Grave (Danny Boyle, 1994), Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (Carl Reiner, 1982).

#NoirvemberChallenge day 30: best #FilmNoir ending. For me there are two; one stone cold, the other, er, white hot!

"If they hang you, I'll always remember you." The Maltese Falcon.

"Made it, ma! Top of the world!" White Heat.

#NoirvemberChallenge day 29 - favourite RKO #FilmNoir: again, it's Murder, My Sweet. But more broadly, I think RKO is my favourite noir studio. They weren't the biggest player in the studio system, but they had a low key, intimate style that made them the leaders in the genre.

#NoirvemberChallenge day 28: a #FilmNoir I watch over & over. I apologise. It's Murder, My Sweet. I've posted about it before, I'll be posting about it again. It was my entry into the genre. I love it 40 years later for the handsome visuals & the script that crackles with Chandler's dialogue.
