Deadline at Dawn (1946) was a lot of fun. Part of the Criterion “Blackout Noir” collection. Screenplay by Clifford Odets from a Cornell Woolrich novel, directed by Harold Clurman, one of the founders of The Group Theater.

Here’s Jackson Browne doing “Desperados Under the Eaves” at the Wild Honey Foundation’s Warren Zevon tribute show on Friday (h/t to Chris Morris, the show’s fantastic emcee). So much goodness that night! youtu.be/PwgpzBvJ7ZI

Thanks for all of the birthday love! Here is my gift to you: some nightmare fodder. Human Mask, a short film by the artist Pierre Huyghe, filmed in Fukushima, Japan, where the meltdown occurred. Watch it on the biggest screen you can. youtu.be/QJR7HUhrL2s?si

Here’s a crazy shootout I happened upon the other night. It’s from San Antonio (1945), starring Errol Flynn. I’m guessing this is the highlight of the movie.

He Walked by Night is a great, LAPD procedural (a template for the TV series Dragnet — Jack Webb even has a role). A creepy villain, fantastic John Alton cinematography, and a script free of hokey psychoanalysis of the bad guy’s motivation. youtu.be/FMkGu8AQScA?si
