Just one more thing...

#FilmNoir icon Jane Greer starred on ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS #OTD in 1959. If you enjoyed watching her rack up the body count in OUT OF THE PAST, you’ll love her as a nurse who may be an angel of death! w/ Kent Smith (CAT PEOPLE), Robert Webber (everything) + Jocelyn Brando (Marlon’s sis) #TVSky

Jane Greer in the ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS episode "A True Account" (airdate: June 7, 1959)

STOLEN FACE (1952) An early Hammer film always holds a certain fascination, and Stolen Face is a strange entry in their pre gothic period. Directed by Terence Fisher and starring Paul Henreid and Lizabeth Scott, the film sits in the odd plastic surgery subgenre.🎥

Tonight on Noir Alley on TCM #NoirAlley #TCM SHIELD FOR MURDER (1954) A surprisingly hard-hitting noir for its time, about a malevolent and murderous cop. From a novel by William P. McGivern (THE BIG HEAT; ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW). Directed and starring Edmund O'Brien. Recommended. 🎥

Communities need used-book shops. As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories... We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.

On the left, a narrow, glass-fronted display case with a mix of letterpress, hand-bound, antiquarian, and collectors' books; stretching off to the right, 8-foot bookcases laden with literary and contemporary commercial fiction, about one thousand books out of the 6-7 thousand in that section. LED lighting and light-colored wood cases and flooring keep the room feeling relatively spacious despite the sheer quantity of books.

"We have a need for an enlightened, watchful articulate opposition. We have no need for semi-secret societies who are absolutist, dictatorial and would substitute for a rule of law and reason an indiscriminate assault on the institutions that must be held sacrosanct." ~Rod Serling
