Noir Alley
Noir Alley
Feature for Dec. 3 & 4 is Decoy. Not sure if I have seen it before or not, but will watch it.
OK, to clarify I changed title of this one to simply Noir Alley. Which I should have done in the first place as it is under the TCM section.

Re: Noir Alley on TCM
Users at this forum need to make this THE thread to post related to Noir Alley on TCM. So to answer your question; lets make this happen.
Decoy, from poverty row studio, Monogram (1946) has it moments but also flaws. Running at 76 minutes it is worth seeing and I'm looking forward to Eddie's comments.

Re: Noir Alley on TCM
I wrote down Millstone's directions and they were a great help, but not exactly like what I found. But did figure it out. The edit avatar button in on a row about mid-page if I remember correctly. The avatar has to be one that can be accessed more easily than the TCM site. EP Millstone might be able to help more, but it is doable. If I can, anyone can.
Oh, and one advantage over TCM is that you can get a larger avatar in. I now have the whole car and not just a front end.

Re: Noir Alley on TCM
Thanks. I hoped to create a sub-section that would show up under the TCM section on the Board Index page, which is where I created this one. However, it doesn't show up on the Board Index page. Do we need for a moderator or someone to create a sub-section on the TCM section?jamesjazzguitar wrote: ↑December 2nd, 2022, 2:27 pmUsers at this forum need to make this THE thread to post related to Noir Alley on TCM.

Re: Noir Alley on TCM
Yea, it would be nice if there was a sub-section on the Board Index. While I'm still getting use to how this forum works I'm using the unread-post option and your post here showed up "at the top". If we keep this thread active (like we did in the TCM forum), recent post should be "at the top" and thus users will find them.ElCid wrote: ↑December 2nd, 2022, 5:40 pmThanks.

I think that SSO administrators create forums. See the following topics in the Site Talk forum:
Do you want a Noir Alley forum to appear in the TCM section (along with Movies and Features on TCM, The Essentials, and Tales from the TCM Classic Film Festival) on the SSO Board index?

Re: Noir Alley on TCM
Not sure what happened. Is there some type of delay on this site between selecting submit and it actually showing up. I posted a comment re: today's Noir Alley feature and now I can't find it.
So, I''ll do it again. Watched Decoy and found it entertaining and worth watching and also realized I had seen it several years ago. I think Eddie's commentaries greatly improve the presentations and did in this one. I found Jean Gillie to be the perfect Femme Fatale - not a decent bone in her body. Whereas in Out of the Past, Double Indemnity and so forth, the women are bad, but have some moments of apparent goodness. Gillie never did. Too bad she did not do more movies.

Re: Noir Alley on TCM
There are apparently two different threads running around entitled "Noir Alley on TCM"
This one, and the other, which can be found here:
Board index > The Films > Film Noir and Crime
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7115
