    Another Eddie Muller classic. Someone needs to compile all of Eddie's lead-ins and put together our own Ultimate Film Noir starring the indomitable Eddie Muller. I'd pay for that.

      Huh? All the intros & outros are right here on this channel. Every single one for Noir Alley, and almost all for Summer of Darkness in 2015. And a few miscellany as well.

    This sounds really good! I will give it a try, though will generally skip anything w G Raft in it bc boring, unless other benefits. Henry Morgan & R Burr, ok, it's Noir! Biblical noir- wonder how they did that? Just the few clips shown by Eddie look very atmospheric. 🌜

      Raft is not a favorite actor of mine. But he did a decent job in the terrific 'They Drive By Night (1940)'.

      @@NoirFan77 The one with Bogart as his brother? Bogie did most of the emoting work on that. I can see HB really making more of an effort in his acting. 😉

      @@ameryek.9607 Yes, Raft & Bogie were truck-driving brothers. Really good film. IMHO Bogart was already an excellent actor, and certainly had paid his dues, by the time this film was shot.

    I'm so glad to see Eddie call out George Raft as a _terrible_ actor. I was going to comment here about what a mystery it is that he ever had a career in movies, but maybe Eddie's reference to Raft's friends in the underworld "who you did _not_ want to cross" is the answer to that mystery.

      @@KarlBunker Raft filled a niche. And one does have to be fairly tough to survive in Hollywood, even with advantage. Maybe George knew too much about directors' & producers' private lives?!

      @@KarlBunker I think of Raft as a legitimate actor (and a very good dancer) who had a very limited range. It's not hard to see the difference between a Raft performance and that of a truly bad actor. It's just that the truly bad actors aren't likely to work in the same films as Raft, so it requires a little effort.
