I watched Time Out Of Mind last november for noirvember, and i liked as well, i wrote a bit about the reasons why i think people are harsh on this movie https://t.co/QuIlD3vwVB

D-2 Then i watched today's 2nd movie for #Noirvember: "Time Out of Mind" (1947, Robert Siodmak). Sold as noir, classified as noir but - if you ask my opinion - it's not a noir. It's a ''Gainsborough type gothic'' melodrama. A nice one, i actually think the harsh criticism it gets
