วีดีโอ

Haven’t seen this film yet though by the looks of it, a fine swansong from the actor/ star and legend who was the epitome of the golden age of Hollywood

I love this film! It's a splendid watch, w/Bogart and Stanwyck being cast against type. I usually sit down to enjoy this at least once a year, and find the intrigue and suspense just as exciting as the first time I saw it many decades ago. The young actress, Ann Carter, who is smart and pretty, resembles a niece of mine; it's incredible! Overall, I really like the atmosphere this story projects, just wished it had been filmed in color. If it had been shot that way, I don't think it would have been detrimental to its screenplay. "Thank you" Noir Fan, for this bit of spotlight on an old favorite! These days, with the world the way it is, these great ol' movies keep getting better and better all the time! 🎥🎞️🎬🍿🥤😊

High wall was Shutter island before shutter island existed

Muller’s epexegeses (plural) are nonpareil!

I recall seeing this at the Egyptian at Noir City Hollywood one year, I believe it was an opening night screening.

Can,t remember if i,ve seen this film...🤔

Greatly appreciate you sharing this awesome outro with us. Wonderfully informative stuff from Eddie about Brit actor Herbert Marshall (one of my faves) and director Curtis Bernhardt.

Lots of thanks for uploading this interesting intro for us! 👍😎

I enjoyed this movie. R Taylor is better than I expected; he typically has a limited range but does go out on a limb here. I didn't know before EM stated that Taylor was such a firm believer in the film. That must have helped his performance. Usually he coasts on his good looks, like many a beautiful female, I'm afraid! This is my introduction to Audrey Totter & she is fine. Poor Audrey, Eddie describes her wardrobe as "draped her shape in a lab coat" but I'd say it's more like swaddled. Much of this movie is still relevant - mental health, unfair detention, challenges of women in high professional roles. 😼

Loved him in this film, the first time I'd even heard of him. While a junior in high school, I saw it at a drive-in. Clu was indeed always entertaining. I think his character in "Into the Night" must have been a nephew of "Lee" his character in this film. Thanks for sharing this interview.

I saw this film at a drive-in and loved it. I'd had to take my sister along. The movie started late, and I had to leave before the end to get my sister home on time... so I could use the car again someday. I didn't see how the film ended until I was in my 30s and it was on late-night TV. I especially liked Clu Gulagher, whom I had never seen before.

One of the greatest noirs of the 40s The poetic cinematic ending is absolutely tremendous.

Beautiful Noir. I wish there were more of these classy productions to watch, with the shadows, plots, and a star like Bogie. The details are done so well, from the sets to wardrobe, lighting, etc. The jewelry & clothing always a treat for me, men's suits included Even some with the waist up to their armpits :) ). Eddie Muller rocks!

I did not like this film. The 1st person perspective felt claustrophobic and contrived, was a constant distraction and not a natural representation of what human vision perceives. Not seeing Robert Montgomery was a further detriment. The "3rd person" traditional viewpoint allows the viewer to see things better. A much better device to convey point of view is the 1st person narrative voiceover à la Joe Gillis made even better as a flashback.

Good film. Thanks for the intro

Thank you for your You Tube Channel, Noir Fan. Much appreciated. I like very much being able to watch these commentaries before and after the presentation of films on TCM.

WOW this should’ve been one of the flics reviewed/ highlighted with Eddie Muller’s TCM colleague Ben Mankiewicz on TCM’s Neo Noir Fridays as well as WHITE SANDS (1992) and the deliciously dark Neo Noir thriller THE LAST SEDUCTION (1994) with Linda Fiorentino

Do not forget the cinematography too! i discovered this masterpiece at age 65! No wonder Jean Luc Godard dedicated Alphavulle to Monogram Pictures becayse ge was an astute film scholar too!

So very interesting! One of the best modern Noirs, right after Chinatown. The scene of cops entering Eazy's hard-earned bungalow is indeed memorable. 😎

Watched Harper last night on TCM but now I want to see it again

Uploading these Noir Alley intros & outres is GREATLY appreciated! Please keep up the good work!

As always, thanks very much for uploading this most recent Noir Alley intro!

Love Carl Franklin's films including One False Move.

Tierney was great in Seinfeld as Elaine's father who wouldn't let Jerry turn his expensive leather jacket inside out in the rain because of its pink silk lining, causing Jerry's jacket to get ruined.

Great movie! Thanks for posting this 😎

I've got reservations about this much lauded film.

Love the double feature. Tremendous films. Michael Beach is phenomenal. Thank you.

Could you explain the context of these? Is Eddie doing a new Neo Noir series like he did with Ben Mankiewicz a few years ago?

One of my favourite films. I am so glad that Eddie showcased it along with Carl Franklin.

Eddie Muller is my favorite person on TV/internet. Thank you very much for posting these.

I missed the Intro to this so thanks for posting!!

Touch of evil is not the final film noir.. the final noir film is odds against tomorrow.

Dick Powell is one of those actors who really grew on me. I really did not appreciate him as a kid, but now he is one of my favourites.

. . . not from irony . . . I'm speechless.

This deserves a bluray release.

The Cold War was cold. I remember it. People didn't like each other very much.. This is reflected in other types of films at the time. I actually never have seen TCM Noir Alley - too expensive for me. But I learn a great deal from these Intros & Outros. As long as Liz Scott isn't in it, I'm might give this kne a try. She puts me to sleep..😮😮😊

So Film Noir meets current events. Interesting combo - don't know if that usually/often works. FM is not scientific but psychological. D Powell was talented, maybe more as a producer,/director than an actor. I can usually stand to watch him. Once in a while! 😎

Wonderful… Muller is my 𝗡𝗢𝗜𝗥 go-to…

❤🎉 *¡there is more than 1 film titled "split second"! - the 1953 ending is a meh and duh, and disappointing end!* ❤🎉 - 10:33 pm Pacific DayLight Savings Time on Saturday, 21 September 2024 leap year - end of line

I just couldn't do it. I watched a half hour of it, but I just couldn't do it. Heddy Lamarr and George Macready were good, but I found John Hodiakʼs accent obnoxious and the plot very boring. Hopefully the next feature Eddie shows-Split Second (another Noir Alley premiere, if I'm not mistaken)-makes up for A Lady Without Passport. I wanted to like it, and I watched most of it, but again, it just fell flat for me on multiple levels.

I found this to be a massive disappointment. A slow, dull, uninteresting melodrama. A good cast is the only thing that this movie has to recommend it. The gimmicky trick ending only underscores how empty this effort really is.

Muller is the best…

Raymond Burr really cracks it as the obsessed, psychopathic heavy, here. He's believably revolting and yet, years later he radiated untegrity as Chief Ironside. I had mixed feelings about this film, quite gripping but Powell's character goes from brusguely efficient to devil may care and handy with his fists and then back to 'ordinary guy' mode. I also thought there were lapses of consistency in Mona's jailbird husband. For some reason he didn't give MacDonald a going over for tormenting him and after Mona told him that MacDonaldhad been making the moves on her. There were quite a few things that didn't quite lead to where you'd think they'd lead storywise.

So I'm 29 years old and I watched the film last night. It's one of the best films ever made. Wow

You really screwed up the station.

Since I sometimes can't watch and/or record Noir Alley, being able to see these intros and outres (thanks to you!) is a truly bodacious blessing! I learn SO much from Eddie about my favorite movie genre, noir. Please keep up the good work! 👍😎

Rrally enjoy these Intro/Outros! They increase my Film Noir knowledge. I don't think I can afford a TCM subscription - just checked & it would be $60-70 per month! Thru Amazon Prime or AT&T, can't remember how I go there. Deep sigh! 😞

These Noir Alley intros and outres are like "manna from heaven" for those of us who weren't able to watch or record Noir Alley over the weekend. THANK YOU a thousand times over! 👍🤓
