@dwayneadd.bsky.socialKathleen hits just like my NY Mets (aka. a lot of swings and misses) 🤣
Already, I get a sense of Lucille Ball's sassy (and great) comic timing.

@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialAmateur lexicography is not for the faint of heart.
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialHe never made it to A-list status, but Stevens had a successful TV career in the 50s, and would go on to both star in and direct noirs CRY VENGEANCE (1954) and TIME TABLE (1956). #TheDarkCorner #TheNoirCollective
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialMark Stevens is Bradford Galt. In 1946 he was voted the 5th "most promising star of tomorrow" by Motion Picture Herald. The noir-heavy top 10 also included Zachary Scott, Eve Arden, Lizabeth Scott, Dan Duryea, Yvonne DeCarlo and Robert Mitchum.

@ctmillion.bsky.social-Private eye with a bottle in the desk and an attractive, sharp-tongued, loyal secretary!
@celluloidsoul.bsky.socialDouble slat shadows! They're really noir-ing it up!-just in case you thought you were in any other kind of movie.

@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialYou have excellent taste. Because you agree with me. 💯
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialThose are Mutoscope hand-crank movies. They weren't films, but rather photos on a reel that flipped when rotated to convey movement. It took about 850 pictures on a reel to make a one-minute peep show of Tahitian dancing girls.

@kphbritt.bsky.socialLucy had that “liquid gliding” thing where some times her pronunciation of the letter L sounded like W.

Nosy cops, William Bendix lurking, sarcastic secretary…
What more do you want?
@blakea5.bsky.socialI wonder what Mme Ester sells #thenoircollective #thedarkcorner
@tommykrasker.bsky.social(4/4) From 1947-51, Ball starred with Richard Denning in ‘My Favorite Husband.’ She then reimagined the series for TV, as ‘I Love Lucy,’ and a star was born. Without the double dose of confidence & adrenaline #TheDarkCorner and ‘Lured’ provided, fame might never have come her way. #TheNoirCollective
@tommykrasker.bsky.social(3/4) Demoralized, Ball accepted a loan-out to Fox for a medium-budget mystery. #TheDarkCorner proved so rewarding that Ball accepted a thriller at UA: ‘Lured.’ And buoyed by the chance to *act* again, Ball decided if Hollywood didn’t want her, she’d go somewhere that did: radio. #TheNoirCollective
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialShe's kind of perfect for this gig, tbh.
@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialThey just come pouring out with a break. Tongue in cheek, at least a little?
