I had the privilege of producing the special features for this film's DVD/Blu-ray release. After 25 years of collaboration with Mr. Muller, I can attest that he's as nice, knowledgeable and witty as you would hope from his TCM hosting.
You don't say. That's really interesting. I also remember an Ask Eddie segment in which he spoke about how the title card for this film had been destroyed. He said they had to completely remake the title card. That must have been incredibly difficult. Can you speak to that at all? Thanks so much for coming on here. I feel like we're in the presence of royalty. Best regards to you!
@@BickBenedict1 thanks for your nice note! The royalty of course is the talent featured each week on this channel. Yes, you're right about the TEARS title card. Film preservationist Scott MacQueen did superb work on this film, which did include recreating the missing title. WOMAN ON THE RUN was another against-all-odds act of preservation, with plot twists and surprise discoveries like something out of Hammett.
Thanks for this! I met him briefly at one of the Noir festivals in Chicago. Very nice guy, easy to talk to. I'm sure it would be a pleasure to have him as a friend or collaborator.
Ah, Chandler again. Always admired his writing. A perfect noir author. I liked early Hammett a great deal also of course. Now I have to go find some of these books.
TLFT is okay as a noir; don't understand, though, the high regard in which it is held. Liz Scott may be well cast - a mediocre-class, bargain basement sex kitten. But once was enough for me. 🤔

I turned 3 years old in 1949 and have seen this movie. I'm happy to watch it again.... thanks 😊

I'm so glad he restored this film. I've seen it at least three times and consider it one of the greatest B noirs.
I own this one and it's among my favourites.
Yep, this is a good one!

"Break the Wild Wind." Fantastic title! The poster looks like Lizabeth Scott is yawning. She plays serious well.
I am not certain about that title, but what do I know? It is witty all the same.
@@roderickcampbell2105 It's good until you remember "breaking wind" means farting.
The best thing about Noir Alley is Eddie Muller
Love this movie. Lizabeth Scott is delightfully evil and tough.
This film is among the five best of Byron Haskin's filmography, as a director.
James Cain was excellent but I found his stories a bit too tough. They were always very tragic.

Same! Scott is very one-dimensional in this...
