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

#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.
