Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:

Today on TCM:

Despite a rather unenthusiastic relationship at this story’s centre, film noir fans shouldn’t cheat themselves out of seeing The Man Who Cheated Himself, restored by The Film Noir Foundation and UCLA Film & Television Archive and a previous Blu-ray recommendation here. TCM will air this nifty little noir Wednesday, February 15 at 8:45 am PST.

Tomorrow Is Another Day
, previously reviewed here, may sound like some forgotten Douglas Sirk melodrama, but certainly has its fair share of film noir qualifications delivered with assuredness by director Felix Feist (who also directed the TCM recommendation just above). A couple of hard cases, played by Steve Cochran and Ruth Roman who slowly start to soften up to one another, informs this film’s compelling nature. A previous stop in Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley, Tomorrow will arrive today Wednesday, February 15 at 1:30 pm PST.
