Day 26 of the #NoirvemberChallenge is Favorite Neo-Noir. I have so many, but I'm going with one I discovered by chance earlier this year -- Out of Time (2003), starring Denzel Washington and directed by the great Carl Franklin. Oh my heart. #Noirvember

Join me at the Shadows and Satin blog for Whatshisname Wednesday on Day 26 of #Noirvember! Today, I'm taking a look at five noir vets whose faces are familar ... but whose names are not. https://t.co/s3vtz4kkRd

Elisha Cook, Jr. Then, and noir. #Noirvember

BUSTER KEATON shows his acting as well as his comedy chops while playing two (count 'em, 2!) roles in one of the least-known films of his career, LE ROI DES CHAMPS ELYSEES, which he made in France in 1934; and now up as my newest Grand Old Movies post:

Cecil B. De Mille spent one day of shooting on Sunset Blvd. (1950). At the end of the day, director Billy Wilder patted DeMille on the back and said, “Very good, my boy. Leave your name with my secretary. I may have a small part for you in my next picture.” 😆 #Noirvember

Jessie Royce Landis, nata a Chicago il #25novembre 1896. Brillante e ironica, apprezzata anche in teatro, per Alfred Hitchcock interpretò la madre di Grace Kelly in "Caccia al ladro" (1955) e quella di Cary Grant in "Intrigo internazionale" (1959).

Day 25 #NoirvemberChallenge Fav #filmnoir featuring a boat? This chilling scene from LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN (1945) with Gene Tierney and young Darryl Hickman. Wait! Darryl is not in the boat? I'm not going to be a spoiler.

"Once in our life we get asked to a classy house and I got a new dress that will knock their eye out and we're going!" Tune into @TCM Tuesday for Dinner at Eight (1933). It's delicious! https://t.co/otJnNrR4K7

Day 25 of the #NoirvemberChallenge is Favorite Film Noir Featuring a Boat. The first one that comes to mind is Too Late for Tears, where Lizabeth Scott is decidedly not out for a joy ride. #Noirvember

Ida Lupino. Then, and noir. #Noirvember

Day 24 of the #NoirvemberChallenge is Favorite Film Noir Poster. I'm going to go with the Italian version of Cry Danger (1951). It's first-rate. #Noirvember

Join me at the Shadows and Satin blog for Miscellaneous Monday on Day 24 of #Noirvember. For today's post, I dive into Criss-Cross, Stephen Rebello's "making of" book on Strangers on a Train. https://t.co/desNhQHACF

Humphrey Bogart. Then, and noir. #Noirvember

Two film noir dames -- Marie Windsor and Shelley Winters -- on the set of their 1950 non-film noir feature, Frenchie. #Noirvember

Day 23 of the #NoirvemberChallenge is Film Noir Actor Who Stole Every Scene They Were In. My first thought was Percy Helton. No matter the size of the part, you always knew he was there. #Noirvember
