Favorite Noir with a Boat has to be Leave Her to Heaven.
The glorious Technicolor is a deep contrast to the darkness on the water as Ellen executes her evil plan. #Noirvember

Day 23: Favorite noir actor who could steal any scene - Thelma Ritter could steal a scene with just a glance or quip. In Pickup on South Street, she makes a stool pigeon unforgettable. In Rear Window, she’s the moral compass and comic razor. #NoirvemberChallenge

Day 22: Favorite musical performance in a film noir - In Rififi (1955), Magali Noël vamps through the film’s lone burst of decadent noise in a film obsessed with silence. Perfect contrast with music as seduction before the world quiets down for the greatest heist in cinema. #NoirvemberChallenge

I love this club scene with Mae Barnes singing "All Men Are Evil". The smoke a perfect (though unhealthful) addition for the ambience.

Favorite Gambling Scene in a Film Noir is from Johnny O'Clock.
