William Conrad appreciation post: His breakout role as the gunman wanting the big dinner in The Killers (’46), Conrad played the ultimate sidekick in supporting roles like Body and Soul (’47), Tension (’49), The Racket (’51), and Cry Danger (’51). #filmnoir Your favorite?

"No Man of Her Own" is a banger. Barbara Stanwyck literally pregnant out of wedlock. No sugarcoating it. No more spoilers, but this is a *very* different kind of murder mystery.

Not enough people know about this bonkers proto-noir! Ida will do *anything* to protect her sisters....
One of the best Ida Lupino movies, the thriller “Ladies in Retirement” (1941), is finally getting a blu-ray release in September. It’s from the Australian label, Imprint. They’ve released other long awaited classics (e.g. “Outrage” (1950)) a year or two ahead of their availability in the US.
So many reasons to watch this fascinating film. One of them is that No Man of Her Own is primarily set in winter, in a midwestern town (in my beloved Illinois, to be exact). Wintery noirs are rare, and this film exploits the menacing and isolating effects of that season to maximum effect.
NEXT WED at #TheNoirCollective: Barbara’s coming! Barbara Stanwyck, that is, because it felt like she was long overdue a visit. @vanstanwyck.bsky.social is hosting NO MAN OF HER OWN (1950), in which the seedy underbelly of noir invades the middle-class trappings of suburbia. Don’t miss it! 😊

We're back at the boxing gym... Do boxers ever really leave the sweet science? #TheNoirCollective #99RiverStreet
I have always loved the use of Ernie's boxing match announcer audio overlaid with the flight with Victor visuals. Championship round and everything Ernie lost in the ring come down to one last fight at 99 River Street. #TheNoirCollective #99RiverStreet
And here we are coming full circle as Karlson & Planer brings us Ernie on "the ropes" again. Can he get up this time? #TheNoirCollective #99RiverStreet
Very interesting that we get Ernie's thought here as a narration. Would it have added more to the film if we had gotten more of this? #TheNoirCollective #99RiverStreet
My favourite part of Eddie Muller's commentary on the #99RiverStreet Blu-ray is here in the diner when he says something like, "I'm going to stop talking for a little bit here. Evelyn would KILL me if I talked over her scene." #TheNoirCollective
Again, I love Keyes’ choices here. She doesn’t just turn into a fun-loving floozy. She shows how an actress with limited worldview would imagine a fun-loving floozy behaves. And as before, Linda’s so desperate to act, she’ll risk anything: a friendship, her life… #TheNoirCollective #99RiverStreet
