@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialNow there's a broken-condom baby perfect for noir.
@millerfilm.bsky.socialDefinitely!
@tommykrasker.bsky.socialI feel like “precocious kid on stairwell“ *has* to be a #NoirChecklist staple. 🤷♂️😅 #TheNoirCollective #TheDarkCorner
@ctmillion.bsky.socialLucy: "That's some pretty hot ginger ale you're mixing up. Here, try some Vita-Meat-A-Veg-A-Min!"
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialNobody can make "I adore you" sound like a threat better than Clifton Webb, a menace compounded by his "you should be ageless" and "you belong to me" lines on the dance floor.

@kphbritt.bsky.socialThe music in the background is veritable smorgasbord of Fox movie musical numbers.
@stephaniemorrison.bsky.socialClifton Webb delivering the stinging quips, “She’s inside wasting her charm on a lot of fellas” Ah, I feel that remark deeply. #TheDarkCorner #TheNoirCollective
@dwayneadd.bsky.socialClifton Webb ("Hardy Cathcart") has finally made the scene.
Let the "sassy remarks" fly!

@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialMan, that is a deep dive reference.
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialGood one!

@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialKurt Kreuger plays smooth blackmailer Mr. Jardine whose very name drives Galt to the double bottle. Born in Germany, Kreuger was typecast by Fox and played mostly Nazis, including in MAN HUNT (1941), recently seen on #TCM and hosted by @tommykrasker.bsky.social for #TheNoirCollective.

@ladykdesigns.bsky.socialI adore his deliciously scandalous snobbery!

@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialEspecially given the end.
@ladykdesigns.bsky.socialSome of the best lines thanks to Screenwriter, Jay Dratler. He wrote 6 novels, many screenplays, and more than 20 tv scripts. He won an Edgar Allan Poe Award for Call Northside 777, and was an Oscar nominee for the ’44 #filmnoir, Laura.
@ctmillion.bsky.socialHe was holding a heater, a cannon, a gat under the lid!
(He had a gun concealed under his hat.)
@ladykdesigns.bsky.social“Quite a turnout, Hardy. Everybody's here.”
“Yes. A nauseating mixture of Park Avenue and Broadway. It proves I'm a liberal.”
