Dish of the Day
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Monday, October 23, 2023
Tomorrow morning on TCM:
Bad Day at Black Rock, reviewed here, is 1955's modern-day take on the American Western. This exceptional suspense-thriller is also a former entry in Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley * and will occur Tuesday, October 24 at 6:30 am PDT.
* which may come as a surprise for those who, unlike myself, do not consider this to be a film noir.

Immediately following Bad Day at Black Rock, is another John Sturges masterfully directed motion picture, this time incontestably occupying the film noir category: 1950's Mystery Street reviewed here. This CSI noir with a ‘Hitchcockian’ twist can be investigated Tuesday, October 24 at 8 am PDT.
(Crossing the street) Marshall Thompson, Jan Sterling
