Anduve con un zombi. Parece extraño. Hace un año creo que no sabía ni qué eran los zombis. Pensaría... que eran extraños, aterradores... y algo divertidos.

- Y ese enorme barco trajo a los primeros padres y primeras madres de todos nosotros, encadenados en el fondo del barco.
- Les trajeron a un sitio precioso, ¿ verdad?
- Lo que usted diga, señorita.

Whistle Stop is a 1946 film noir starring George Raft and Ava Gardner. It doesn't go where you think it's going. Ava had gone to Chicago to find glamour, excitement, money. Now she's come back to the loser she loves. Excellent underrated movie.

William Castle's Undertow (1949). Tony has a flirtation in Reno with a pretty schoolteacher but he's on his way to Mary his sweetheart whose uncle is a gangster, Tony's a nice guy with a shady past and now he's framed for murder. Enjoyable.

Chicago Deadline is a good 1949 hardboiled crime thriller with just the faintest hint of film noir, with Alan Ladd in top form as a reporter investigating a murder. There's an ambiguous femme fatale figure and a touch of cynicism.

Lady on a Train (1945) is based on a Leslie Charteris story. Deanna Durbin witnesses a murder from a train window. A lighthearted comic murder mystery with a decided screwball comedy flavour. It’s rather delightful and Durbin is adorable.

Tangier (1946) starring Maria Montez involves a stolen diamond and a murder. It does not take place in Tangier, but in the Tangier created by the Hollywood dream factory - a fantasy world of danger, intrigue, adventure and romance. Enjoyable.

Three On a Ticket (1947), the fourth of PRC's Mike Shayne PI B-movies. A guy walks into Shayne's office and drops dead. He was a PI as well, but an unsavoury one. Then a blonde wants to hire Shayne to kill her husband. A good solid B-picture.

Shadow of a Doubt (1943) is not, as some claim, film noir but it is one of Hitchcock's best movies. With one of his most interesting and ambiguous protagonists. Joseph Cotten is superb as the man who may or may not be a murderer.

In Raoul Walsh's Pursued (1947) Robert Mitchum is on the run, haunted by the past. Reminded me a little of Spellbound. Sometimes touted as a noir western but it isn't very noir. A psychological thriller but a bit tame and a bit disappointing.

Ramrod, a 1947 range war western directed by André De Toth stars Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake. A complex grown-up western with morally grey characters so you can’t make assumptions about how the story will end. A great western.

George Raft (one of my favourite actors), Raymond Burr and Virginia Mayo star in Red Light (1949), a neglected film noir gem. Raft gets to be a tough guy, Burr gets to be evil. A must-see noir.

The Flame of New Orleans (1941) is a stylish romantic comedy set in early 19th century New Orleans with Marlene Dietrich as an adventuress torn between money and love. Visually lush, frothy, very amusing and totally captivating. Dietrich in top form.

Dressed to Kill (1946), the last Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movie. Vital evidence to a robbery is concealed in three music boxes. A lesser entry in the series but reasonably entertaining and it has a fine femme fatale.
