The editor of the Daily Mirror served 3 months for contempt of court when he called Haigh a murderer during the trial. The similarities between the true and fictional crimes led the British Board of Film Censors to delay release of #Obsession until after the trial. #TheNoirCollective #TCMParty

True crime and fiction collided in the production of #Obsession. John Haigh, aka the Acid Bath Murderer, who killed people for money and dissolved their bodies in drums of sulphuric acid, was tried, convicted and executed as filming wrapped.

Eddie Muller has likened Monty to the great dogs of cinema history: Toto, Asta, etc. We wanted to suggest a few other standout pups you might not know, and the great @kphbritt.bsky.social suggested four dogs very much worth your time. (Details in Alt Text.) #TheNoirCollective #TCMParty #Obsession

Bill is helping Monty help Bill to escape. A clever pup, but perhaps no more clever – or adorable – than your own. So just a second reminder that if you haven’t yet posted a picture of a dog you love, please do so. Share the joy! #TheNoirCollective #TheNoirCollective #Obsession

Oh my yes!!...totally fooled me too..and probably second time too😁🚉😁

Clive and Bill‘s interactions have previously been staged and shot with Clive – the one in control – looming large in the frame. Now Dmytryk and Pennington-Richards flip the perspective, as the balance of power starts to shift. #TheNoirCollective #TCMParty #Obsession

You can tell everything you need to know about people by how they treat animals. #Obsession #TheNoirCollective #TCMParty

Clive’s obsessiveness is turning in on him.

The British “Columbo” is waiting for you, Clive.

Finsbury is the very soul of British social niceties - apologizing for his intrusions, talking about the weather, minimizing his abilities, a neat and tidy Columbo with a pipe. He's wearing them as a mask too, but in a moral pursuit of justice.

Yes yes yes! You've summed this up magnificently!

Great point! Interesting insight into their marriage prior to the start of the narrative

It looks pretty clean in there. I guess the first trick Monty learned was how to use the toilet.

I know I'm supposed to do things but this gonzo movie #Obsession is on #TCMParty now and....other things seem less important
