I liked how Claude Rains played a scruffy drunk and Thomas Mitchell played a diabolical parasite lol both very against type roles for both of them.

Apparently Ida Lupinos character was originally supposed to be a prostitute but they had to change it to calling her a "hash slinger" in the most derogatory way possible

The hammertime montage toward the beginning was amazing too, could almost call it psychedelic. Wonder if Dumbo's drunk scene inspired it.

Very atmospheric flick, especially that finale. I loved it.

Dali was hired to do that sequence

Psychedelic nonetheless...

I think I knew that but totally forgot. Fkn Nazi bootlicker still knew how to throw some visuals together.

Apparently Lang quite the project because him and Gabin were beefing over queen Marlene

Juicy production section on wiki now that I'm looking lol.

that's what im reading... but damn not in the credits either. it's in Letterboxd showed both of them in. might be some spice in otherwise

Marlene literally banged everybody and I respect it

The Glass Key

Mannn I did not realize that the Coens pilfered an old obscure noir so heavily for Miller's Crossing. The language and character dynamics are spot on.

@Fella @beflygelt

interesting, that one's been on my watchlist for forever

still mid

Arletty @sace treasonous wench

"My heart is French but my ass is international."

should've hit her with the old shave and tar before throwing her in the clink

The Murderer Lives At #21 was a spicy little whodunit

Random Harvest was a nice little tearjerker
