Friday, April 18, 2025

Tomorrow on TCM:

TCM is making available to its subscribers, one of film noir's finest, 1950’s Gun Crazy, previously reviewed here. Noir's most distinguishing feature, a focus on their criminal participants' psychology, marks a major shift regarding motive. In the earlier "gangster" films, money and power provided enough reason for the pursuit of illegal gains whereas in noir, the internal cause behind the action is paramount, and runs so much deeper... and darker. The dark deeds will ensue Saturday, April 19th at 3:15 pm PDT.
