Phillip Terry sighting. Also in "Born to Kill" and ....
"The Leech Woman" - with Coleen Gray!

George Stroud in The Big Clock, probably, but Ministry of Fear, Dial M, and my beloved, woefully unappreciated Lady in the Dark are up there.

I was thinking the same thing! And with everything we just learned I’ll be watching with a different (but still wildly clueless and untrained) perspective.

And who wouldn't need a break from Joan Crawford after a couple of years! (sorry...) #theNoirCollective #TheLostWeekend

My mother had a leopard fur coat just like Helen’s only it was longer.
She let me wear it once.

I still don't like him in Born to Kill, but that might be the point.

Thanks @tommykrasker.bsky.social for the "hidden" history of our favorite phrase, film noir! I hope everyone, err, enjoys tonight's live watch, but I'll be sitting this one out. Life's been tough enough lately. Take care.

Here for a first watch of #TheLostWeekend. Jane Wyman in animal print and long hair is making me dizzy. #TheNoirCollective

Lost Weekend is a close second to Dial M for Murder.

Amazing. He lived long enough to see what what filmmakers like Spielberg and George Lucas were doing. I wonder what he thought of how his techniques were being used/interpreted/reinterpreted later.

Jane Wyman as Helen

Decades before battling Richard Channing for control of Falcon Crest, Wyman nabbed Oscar nods for The Yearling, Johnny Belinda (win), The Blue Veil, and Magnificent Obsession. As with Terry, #TheLostWeekend was her big break, but she parlayed it into stardom. #TheNoirCollective

The slow, 180 degree pan of the opening shot establishes the circular motif that occurs throughout #TheLostWeekend. Note the references to circles throughout the film; we’ll have a special Circle Checklist at film’s end! #TheNoirCollective
