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. 🌜
@@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?!
@@ameryek.9607 Phooey. To me, he was an actor who could *not* act. Is a carpenter who doesn't know one end of a hammer from the other "filling a niche"?
@@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.

@@NoirFan77 Actually, my bad. When I went to your playlist, there they were - even separated by years. Sorry
@@thetorchyblameseries8100 Not at all. Just glad you found what this channel offers. Enjoy!
@@NoirFan77 Thanks for setting me straight. I love your channel and hate that I made an incorrect statement. Thanks, I'll continue to enjoy your work.
@@thetorchyblameseries8100 No sweat! I've lost count how many times I've made an incorrect statement. I mean, in the past day!

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

@@NoirFan77 Phooey. I've seen truly bad actors in high-school stage productions. And most of those kids were better than Raft.
@@KarlBunker 'Phooey'? That's what you've got?
