"IT'S FATAL: WHAT IS FILM NOIR?" (PART III) (080) 3/24/2025 Welcome to the third and final installment of our series on Film Noir. As we have previously discussed the technical elements of noir and met the typical character's of noir, we will now take a look at the creative aspects of the genre that help create that special brand of dark, sexy, deadly movies.

EPISODE 78 - “FILM NOIR - Part 1 - WHAT IS NOIR?” - 3/10/2025 Have you ever wondered what exactly is film noir? TCM's EDDIE MULLER describes it this way: “Film Noir is all about treachery, deceit, and paranoia. You're never quite sure what is going on, who you can trust, or what dreadful pitfall waits around the corner.” This dark and twisted film genre popped up after WWII as a quiet cynicism began to creep into the national consciousness. In film noir, there is always an underbelly of darkness that comes out to play. And within the darkness, the shadows, and the neon lights, lie many stories of crime, dishonesty, adultery, murder, and mayhem. This week, we present the first in a special three-part series that delves into the darkest of genres where crooked cops, gangsters, torch singers, barflies, and other seedy character's live, love and kill. Join us as we discuss Film Noir!  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Film Noir (2017), by Alian Silver & James Ursini; Into the Darkness: The Hidden World of Film Noir 1941-1959 (2016), by Mark A.

Film noir expert Eddie Muller

This week, we taste the sweeter side of Mexican cuisine with chef Fany Gerson. Traveling from Mexico City to Veracruz to Oaxaca, we explore regional confections like chili-flavored paletas and guava and cheese doughnuts. Plus, we take a seat at the Noir Bar with writer and television host Eddie Muller, who infuses classic cocktails with a cinematic twist; Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett of “A Way With Words” unpack the history hidden in your spice cabinet; and we prepare a very crispy Korean Fried Chicken. (Originally aired June 2, 2023.)Get the recipe for Korean Fried Chicken here.Listen to Milk Street Radio on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify

from 2020. A great chat about Film and Comics Noir with The guys 

AP Mike from THE BEST SHOW joins us once again for our #Noirvember episode and he's bringing Humphrey Bogart with him. Mike has chosen two wildly different takes on the Bogart persona from two of Hollywood greatest directors. First, it's the classic mystery that made Bogie a star with THE MALTESE FALCON from first-time director John Huston in 1941. Bogart is San Francisco private dick Sam Spade in this veritable blueprint for all the detective noir that followed it. Bogie is backed by an amazing cast with Mary Astor as femme fatale Brigid O'Shaughnessy; Petter Lorre as Joel Cairo; Sydney Greenstreet making his film debut at 62 years old as Kaspar Guttman; and Elisha Cook, Jr. playing shifty thug Wilmer Cook. All of these characters are on an existential quest the big, black bird--the stuff that dreams are made of--and several of them will do anything to get it. Then, Bogart goes grim dark in Nicholas Ray's IN A LONELY PLACE (1950). Bogie plays Dixon "Dix" Steele, a hasbeen Hollywood script writer with severe anger management issues. Dix is dragged in for questioning after Mildred, the hat-check girl he took back to his apartment, turns up murdered, and Bogie's wise-cracking ways take on an air of extreme menace as he jokes his way through the police interrogation. His neighbor, Laurel Gray played by Noir princess Gloria Grahame, falls for him despite the allegations because she saw that he didn't leave with the victim. But as Dix grows more violent and domineering, she, and the audience, start to question all that we've seen. Mike details the differences between the movie and the novel that it's based on. Eddie Muller's favorite film of all time.

Previously, on Lions, Towers & Shields, we’ve talked about one western. It was an unusual one, and included themes a modern audience tends to read as gay. Well guess what? We’re doing it again. Desert Fury puts Lizbeth Scott, Bert Lancaster and John Hodiak into a love triangle. Film noir expert Eddie Muller says this is the gayest movie ever produced in classic Hollywood. But is it? Please enjoy the lush color, and the Miklos Rosza score. And look, there’s Mary Astor and Kristine Miller, too. So we have a very noir cast getting together to ride a present-day version of the range. Shelly Brisbin with Randy Dotinga, Nathan Alderman and Micheline Maynard.

If you enjoy watching classic films you're probably acquainted with Alan Rode, prolific author, commentator (on numerous DVDs and Blu-rays), and host (with Eddie Muller) of the Noir City Festival, an annual event in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago. He also hosts and programs the Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival every year in Palm Springs, California. He has several books to his credit, including a biography of character actor Charles McGraw and his magnum opus, Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film. He is a longtime friend of the Maltin family, so Jessie and Leonard had a grand time comparing notes on all aspects of film buffery.

In the Coen canon, it's almost the film that wasn't there. Audiences didn't show up for it, but The Man Who Wasn't There remains a favorite among critics and fans of film noir. The Coen Brothers have paid tribute to Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler in the past, but here it's the hard-boiled naturalistic fiction of James M. Cain that inspired the film. It's also the Coen Brothers first black & white film, and it's hard to imagine this movie any other way. To shine some light in the darkness, we've enlisted the help of the "Czar of Noir" Eddie Muller, host of TCM's "Noir Alley," and author of the book "Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir."

The Czar of Noir Eddie Muller joins us for our epic SEASON 2 FINALE. Eddie takes time out of his busy #Noirvember to chat about his new book NOIR BAR: COCKTAILS INSPIRED BY THE WORLD OF FILM NOIR and his even newer hardboiled kid's book, KITTY FERAL AND THE CASE OF THE MARSHMALLOW MONKEY. He also tells an amazing story about ELLIOT GOULD from the just-concluded TCM Cruise that you won't want to miss + insights into Kim Novak and Ernest Dickerson (DP of DO THE RIGHT THING, MALCOLM X) from the Cruise. We also talk about the history of child endangerment in noir and how you can't do a lot of this stuff today. If that wasn't enough, Eddie sticks around to pair cocktails while we pair cannabis with a pair of movies from his NOIR BAR book. First, Edmond O'Brien has been slipped a Mickey full of luminescent poison and only has a few days to find out who murdered him and why in D.O.A., a frantic, sometimes comical, and essential noir from 1949. And then, Golden Age of Hollywood screenwriting giant Ben Hecht writes, directs and produces SPECTER OF THE ROSE, a bizarre ballet noir with a wealth of dialog that will bring you to the brink of madness! No need to write a lot about these movies here because we go long in this episode, but it's our last one for a while (kinda). Big thanks to Eddie and apologies to Kathleen for keeping him so long. Eddie's NOIR BAR is available from Larry Edmund's Bookshop in Hollywood, CA: https://www.larryedmunds.com/product-page/eddie-muller-s-noir-bar-cocktails-inspired-by-the-world-of-film-noir As are signed copies of KITTY FERAL: https://www.larryedmunds.com/product-page/kid-noir-kitty-feral-and-the-case-of-the-marshmallow-monkey We won't be doing a HOLIDAY SPECIAL this year but there will be a Barbie under your Christmas tree next month, so please subscribe so you don't miss the LOST BARBIE EPISODE.
