Au contraire!
IMO, Noir Alley fans should be posting their NA-related topics in Noir Alley instead of in Noir Alley on TCM. Give your new topic a title such as Walk Softly, Stranger.
My two cents.
Au contraire!
Hey cid, off topic but I never realized that car was a DeSoto Fireflite. The movie “The Cars That Ate Paris” features one of those in a prominent role but its rear end is completely totaled near the end.
Thank you. That's where I posted my comment for today.

This is a test. I replied and my comments went away!!!! Yea, what a MESS!!!!laffite wrote: ↑January 8th, 2023, 2:51 am I have a few comments about Don't Bother to Knock but before I do that I need to open the blinds and have a look. You never know, something strange might happen. Why maybe ... but no ... that never happens to me.
A nifty little story, I liked the way the two elements of the story dovetailed each other. Anne Bancroft in her debut, was very breezy and cool, though miffed. I love that look on her face and the growing disbelief of what she hearing when Jed was telling a story. Did you notice that oval shaped mouth while he was talking? She looked appropriately in disbelief. She looked like an emoticon.
Widmark was good having to show two sides. Very amusing to see him giving up the easy mark as he sees a cooky and fragile thing and who doesn't make sense. And the way he got through to her.
I have seen this twice before and I didn't realize that Nell was so off the deep end. But that look we got when she was looking in the mirror, preening with jewelry A glimpse of the real Marilyn? I wonder how many takes it took to accomplish that final scene. Marilyn was fantastic there. That depleted look on her face, the body language, the turning away from (Anne), the way she said "...somebody entirely else." the way she surrendered the razor, even the elegant way she took the policeman's hand to be led away.>weep<
You mean like the bottomless pit of I JUST WATCHED(?). If that's the proper parallel I agree completely. Those fine reviews are virtually lost in a maelstrom of forgetfulness, a Lethe in a message board.EP Millstone wrote: ↑January 8th, 2023, 2:05 pm EP Millstone the Megalomaniacal Control Freak here.
I suggest that Lomm lock (close) this topic, because some folks are getting confused by two topics about Noir Alley.
Folks should post Noir Alley topics in NOIR ALLEY.
Furthermore, I suggest creating a Noir Alley topic devoted to a specific movie, e.g., Don't Bother to Knock. That way discussions about a specific movie can be easily found. Otherwise, folks have to wade through the redundant Noir Alley subforum, which bodes to swell to colossal proportions.
EXACTLY!
