I can't stop laughing at this scene from Elaine May's 1971 black comedy, "A New Leaf". The film co-stars Walter Matthau, as the extremely unpleasant Harry Graham, a man who's spent his entire inheritance and is on the hunt for an heiress with a healthy bank account.
Today in film noir slang . . . in Detour (1945), there's a line where one character tells another to "Take it on the Arthur Duffy, sister." Duffy was an Olympic sprinter who set a world record in 1902. To take it on the Arthur Duffy means to scram, with the quickness. #Noirvember
Lou Donaldson’s album “Swing and Soul” blends hard bop fire with bluesy soul and Latin spice. Each track grooves deeper than the last. What’s your favorite song from this 1957 classic? 🎷🔥

There’s more than one "Victim” in this #neonoir set in London from 1961. Dirk Bogarde is a barrister and a man he knows intimately is desperately trying to reach him. When the man is found dead, the barrister works to find out who else is being silenced. Allied Film Makers.
