He sat two glasses on the table in the corner and poured us both a double. I could still see the smug look on his face. We both knew he had a bomb to drop and I just didn't want it to land on me. I really didn't want to be involved, but I felt I had no choice in the matter. I felt like a puppet...- Midnight Palace

This doesn't seem to be exactly the same as the wording you gave but it's very similar if you read the copy and it's from January 1933.- Midnight Palace

Your TOP Bogart movie..?
Of course I love all the Bogart staples but no one has mentioned All Through the Night. I thought Bogie was great in this one as a gambler turned amateur sleuth when the baker of his favorite cheesecake is murdered!- Midnight Palace

Ongoing noir story...
Suddenly my guard was up that much higher. How did I not hear the window open? Did I still have company or had they floated into the night amongst the sirens? I wasn't sure. I gripped my .45 so tight that my knuckles whitened. My jaw was clenched and my heart was racing. I wasn't going to lie, I...- Midnight Palace

A History of the American Movie Palace (long)
The tide of American consumerism, which had propelled the movie palaces to prestige and profitability, contributed to their decline. The political phrase, "a chicken in every pot" had metamorphosed into "a car in every driveway and a television in every living room." Americans' pursuit of the...- Midnight Palace

Can you guys please help me date this?
Years back, my friend's father did contracting work and would occasionally do house clean-outs as well. We'd go along for the ride sometimes just to have something to do. Well, on one particular house clean-out, we were in the basement taking out boxes. The house had already been vacated and the...- Midnight Palace

Ongoing noir story...
A jam? What did she mean? My smoke had burned down to it's filter and I needed another one. As I lit it up, I tried to keep my cool. I couldn't let her get to me, or at least, I couldn't let it show. "Tell me about this jam...and how you plan to help me out it", I said. "Well, I'm not...- Midnight Palace

She smiled mysteriously at my hesitation. I couldn't tell if she was annoyed or excited by the challenge. She looked at my empty glass and looked back at me, silently waiting for me to offer her a drink. What else could I do?

I threw open the door to the joint and stepped inside. It was called Shooters Bar, ironic I thought but comforting nonetheless. I always got the same drink when I went in, but maybe tonight should be different. There was sure to be a shady character or two drowning his problems. I was soaked...- Midnight Palace

I have to admit that I pegged Reggie for a suspect, but now with him slouched in front of me under the beating rain, I had to think faster. It's funny how little your dollars mean in the grand scheme. Wealth. It bought him everything but safety. I hardly had two nickels to rub together, but I...- Midnight Palace
