Film Noir?
One of the very earliest films noir is "I Wake Up Screaming" from 1941. It was made within about a month of The Maltese Falcon (a film that is very hard to justify as a film noir) I Wake Up Screaming however has ALL the elements of classic noir. Again this was an A picture that had two of Fox's...- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
Yes and Fox also put some money into their noir films, particularly those directed by Otto Preminger. In fact I would say of all the studios, Fox probably had the most consistently high quality film noir. Doug- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
Out of the Past was not a cheap production by any stretch of the imagination. Location shooting near Lake Tahoe, The Sierra Mountains, in addition to shooting all over Los Angeles. They even sent a small unit to Reno. I've heard the estimated budget at about $1.5 million. (at that time the most...- Atomic Age

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Apocalypse Now on blu-ray. The quality of the image is just amazing. This is the film that 5.1 sound was literally created for, and 30 years later it is still probably the best sound design and mix of any movie ever made. Doug- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
I think you could say that there are some episodes of Twilight Zone that would qualify as noir. Some examples might be. "Perchance to Dream", "Judgement Night", "The Four of Us Are Dying", "I Shot an Arrow into the Air", "The Big Tall Wish", "A Passage for Trumpet". And that is just from the...- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
Devil in a Blue Dress, definitely noir! Again I disagree about color. Again I'm going to use the example of Slightly Scarlet. I would suggest watching the film again and look at how Alton uses the color just as he is using shadow and light. He is very selective about his color. There are some...- Atomic Age

Thank you. Hopefully. I am finishing ADR with the actors, then it goes off to a composer to write music for it. After that it will probably be the film festival circuit to try and see if I can find a distributor. If that fails, I may try and go the rout of selling it myself through a website...- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
Well to be sure there are some films that are just not film noir. Gangster films of the 30s for instance are decidedly NOT noir, in spite of having many of the elements. The Thin Man for example has more in common with Screwball than noir even though it is a mystery. The same could be said of...- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
I think all these "rules of noir" are a bunch of nonsense. The fact of the mater is , the guys who were making what became known as film noir, had no idea they were making noir. They just thought they were making a crime drama. There were no rules that say the film must include this and can't...- Atomic Age

The Man Who Designed America
If we are going to talk about designers who really shaped the look of corporate America, then we have to talk about Saul Bass, who had such a huge hand in the identities of so many companies in the latter half of the 20th century. He designed the logos for: AT&T Avery International...- Atomic Age

He didn't actually design the coke bottle, he re-designed it, in fact removing some of the curve that was so distinctive about the bottle. Additionally he eliminated the iconic Coca-Cola script. The company went back to its original designs with in a few years, though they kept the "Coke" type...- Atomic Age

Every major character in Snow White was filmed live then copied for animation. In Pinocchio only the Blue Fairy , Stromboli's wagon (a miniature was...- Atomic Age

Disney used rotoscoping extensively in Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo Bambi etc, etc. But Disney did it with some artistic flare. Backshi was just a hack! Doug- Atomic Age
