There he is, the Gabby Cabbie- such a #NoirChecklist regular that #TheNoirCollective had to devote an entire series to him!

@ctmillion.bsky.socialThere he is, the Gabby Cabbie- such a #NoirChecklist regular that #TheNoirCollective had to devote an entire series to him!
@vanstanwyck.bsky.social"Brother, he came out of there like a hot rivet." The #NoirChecklist's gabby cabby strikes again!
#TheDarkCorner #TheNoirCollective
@ctmillion.bsky.socialSo lumber lurking William Bendix is not actually Fred Foss... A double identity, a must for any self-respecting #NoirChecklist!
@ctmillion.bsky.socialSymbolic shadow shot for the #NoirChecklist!
@marcikay.bsky.socialLoveless May-December mercenary marriage 💰
@ctmillion.bsky.socialI knew that young strumpet had to be schtupping someone besides Cathcart!
-Two-timing floozy wife for the #NoirChecklist!
@ctmillion.bsky.social-Protagonist with a past, for which he was wrongly accused/set up.
A #NoirChecklist staple!
@ctmillion.bsky.socialWell, I sort of have the night off- tonight's will be a group effort!
@millerfilm.bsky.socialWe know that you are working on it as we speak. 😀

@marcikay.bsky.socialLate-night diner coffee ☕️
@ctmillion.bsky.socialSomehow I knew there would be an incongruous nightclub number, a must for any #NoirChecklist!
@tommykrasker.bsky.socialI feel like “precocious kid on stairwell“ *has* to be a #NoirChecklist staple. 🤷♂️😅 #TheNoirCollective #TheDarkCorner
@marcikay.bsky.socialPushing the guy tailing you up against a wall and asking “How long ya been shagging me?”
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialLucille Ball as the smart, reliable secretary Kathleen checks another box on the #NoirChecklist, but Lucy's vivacious quick wit brings fresh sparkle to the "good girl" role. It returned the favor by reviving her career. More on that from @tommykrasker.bsky.social.
#TheDarkCorner #TheNoirCollective
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialNormally you could add rear projection to the #NoirChecklist here, but not in #TheDarkCorner. There are four windows in the office and the views we see are all perfectly consistent in angle, perspective and realistic variety. This was filmed in the office building we saw outside.

@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialThe striped shadows from blinds are a given for the #NoirChecklist, of course, but the ones in Galt's office have extra depth and dimension, like when he opens the inner door and there's a whole new set behind him angled to the ones on the wall.
#TheDarkCorner #TheNoirCollective
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialThat is no mean feat, because as soon as the Fox fanfare stops, the #NoirChecklist populates, starting with, you guessed it, Alfred Newman's "Street Scene" as the musical accompaniment to the credits. The real hardship is selecting from the plethora of choices.
#TheDarkCorner #TheNoirCollective
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialThe watch party is minutes away, but first, a challenge. #TheDarkCorner is replete with noir tropes, like a teacher's edition of @ctmillion.bsky.social's #NoirChecklist. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to post any checklist additions as you see them.
