Hold Back Tomorrow (1955), a film noir about a man about to be hanged. He makes a last request - a woman for the night. He gets down-on-her-luck whore Dora (Cleo Moore). Cleo Moore is superb. Great movie. Somehow it got past the Hays Code.

Outside the Wall (1950) is a solid film noir. Richard Basehart is a man who's spent 15 years in prison and finds life on the outside scary. He has trouble with dames and a chance encounter from the past drags him into noir nightmare world.

Jacques Tourneur's Anne of the Indies (1951) is a pirate adventure movie about a lady pirate. She’s brave, sexy, daring and sympathetic apart from being a mass murderess. Surprisingly nuanced with a complex protagonist. Great stuff.

Had it not been for the Production Code I, the Jury (1953) would have been the best-ever Mickey Spillane film adaptation. It's still pretty good - Peggie Castle sizzles, John Alton’s cinematography is superb. See it.

The Mole People is a 1956 scifi B-movie. Archaeologists discover a lost city, still stuck in the Sumerian era, deep beneath the Earth. Naturally there's a pretty slave girl. Some decent effects, all very cheap but a good basic idea. Enjoyable.

André De Toth's Day of the Outlaw (1959), a fine intelligent complex 50s western. Starts as a typical "ranchers against farmers" story with a romantic triangle and becomes something quite different. Fine performance by Tina Louise.

Victor Mature, Jane Russell and Vincent Price star in the slightly noir-tinged 1952 crime/romance melodrama The Las Vegas Story (1952). Great use of the Vegas setting, three dazzling lead performances, lots of twisted romance. Very enjoyable.

Pickup Alley is a 1957 British crime thriller about a narcotics agent, directed by John Gilling. Victor Mature, Anita Ekberg and Trevor Howard are all excellent. Solidly plotted and well-crafted.

Cop Hater is a 1958 B-movie police procedural based on an Ed McBain 87th Precinct novel. Cops are getting gunned down. Not a bad movie. Not really film noir but does have a tough seedy gritty sweaty and at times sleazy edge to it.

Wrong Number is a 1959 British heist thriller involving train and armoured car robberies and a beautiful, glamorous, sexy and dangerous woman. And of course phone calls. A neat plot, terrific acting, well executed heist sequences. Good stuff.

Le 20 janvier 1950 sortait Gun Crazy (Le Démon des armes) de Joseph H. Lewis avec Peggy Cummins (Rendez-vous avec la peur, J. Tourneur) et John Dall (La Corde, Hitchcock), avec la musique de Victor Young (Johnny Guitare, les Voyages de Gulliver) et Dalton Trumbo le black-listé comme co-scénariste !
Un des plus grands films noirs US, au petit budget, devançant A bout de souffle (1960) ou Bonnie & Clyde (1967) par son esthétique et son propos. Amoralité, fétichisme et désespoir au programme 🤩
Vice Raid (1959) is a crime potboiler which tries to be as lurid as possible given the constraints of the 50s. The reason to see it is Mamie van Doren playing a bad girl with the body of a goddess and the morals of an alley cat. She's fabulous.

Gidget (1959), the first surfer girl movie. Sandra Dee is amazingly charming. Lightweight amusing romantic fun that takes its heroine's struggles with growing up quite seriously. But the ending is - well let's just say I hated the ending.

The Hangman (1959) is a slightly odd but very good psychological western with Robert Taylor as a Deputy Marshal who has to bring in a wanted man but he has no idea what the fugitive looks like. Tina Louise could identify the man, but will she?

#Noirvember #filmnoir Assassin for Hire (1951) is a low-budget British crime thriller with a definite film noir flavour. Sydney Tafler is superb as a hitman with some depth and the plot has some nasty twists. An excellent well-crafted B noir.

Une Parisienne (1957), an early and incredibly charming Brigitte Bardot romantic comedy. She plays a girl who is really very sweet but a bit naughty in an innocent kind of way. A frothy lightweight romantic sex comedy with Bardot at her most adorable.
