What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Conflict from 1945 with Humphrey Bogart, Alexis Smith and Sidney Greenstreet Conflict's director Curtis Bernhardt did a highly competent job making this engaging noir crime-drama mystery. Still, you can't help wondering what Alfred Hitchcock would have done with the same material as the story...- Fading Fast

The Era -- Day By Day
What always amazes me about those letters is the effort that went into them - paper, pen, sit down, write, envelope, address, stamp, lick, mail. It takes no effort to rant on social media today, but Sailor Crazy Lizzie put some real time and effort into that little screed.- Fading Fast

The War Against Mrs. Hadley from 1942 with Fay Bainter, Edward Arnold, Richard Ney, Jean Rogers, Sara Allgood, Spring Byington and Van Johnson Tucked in amidst all the WWII propaganda films of 1942 is this odd and engaging one that is so politically one sided you just have to chuckle at its...- Fading Fast

"Blood on the Moon" Is a top five Western for me, probably because, as you note, it's very noirish. The only thing I'd add to your excellent comments are that the two female leads - Barbara Bel Geddes and Phyllis Thaxter - are outstanding in it. My comments on it here: #27,985- Fading Fast

The Sicilian Clan from 1969 with Alain Delon, Jean Gabin and Lino Ventura The Sicilian Clan is a classic heist movie with cool 1960s French style and serious acting heft. It also has a fresh take on the age-old game of jewelry robbery, plus plenty of mob intrigue and a dogged French detective...- Fading Fast

When I lived in Boston, in the late '90s/early '00s there was an old immigrant Italian tailor who was like that. The guy was very talented, a bit cranky, had posted hours that didn't mean anything and his pricing was pulled out of his head and different every time, but always reasonable. And, of...- Fading Fast

Back Street from 1932 with Irene Dunn and John Boles Back Street, based on a popular novel, can be seen as an unconventional love story or a sad look at the lonely life of a mistress relegated to the "back streets" of a selfish man's world. The answer, as with most things, probably lies in an...- Fading Fast

Agreed, it's a very good movie. If you haven't read it, I recommend the book it's based on as it's an even better read.- Fading Fast

Mrs. Miniver from 1942 with Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright, Richard Ney, May Whitty and Henry Travers Subtle is good, but sometimes obvious works. In Mrs. Miniver, director William Wyler delivers one of the great WWII propaganda films with little subtlety. The characters and...- Fading Fast

I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes from 1948 with Elyse Knox, Regis Toomey and Don Castle I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes is a better-than-average B noir based on a story by prolific noir writer Cornell Woolrich.

Thank you for posting the pictures. That's a beautiful suit. One small suggestion, since you paid for made-to-measure, is that it looks like the sleeve is not set properly in the armhole, which is why you're getting so many ripples with your arm only slightly turned. Also, I'd have them check...- Fading Fast
