⭐7 Men From Now (1956) - Western Film Noir Gunsmoke Meets Shadows Day 21 NOIRvember Celebration⭐
Ernest Hemingway's short story The Killers was memorably adapted and expanded for the big screen by director Robert Siodmak and an incredible cast. We'll hear the stars of that film - plus a radio recreation - as our "Noirvember" series continues. Ava Gardner slows down for a hitchhiker with murder on his mind in "Lady in Distress" (originally aired on CBS on May 1, 1947). Edmond O'Brien is a streetwise reporter out for the story of the year in "The Argyle Album" (originally aired on CBS on September 4, 1947). Burt Lancaster is in no hurry to get revenge for his brother in "The Long Wait" (originally aired on CBS on November 24, 1949). And the titular killers William Conrad and Charles McGraw reunite in "Two for the Road" (originally aired on CBS on November 9, 1958). Finally, Burt Lancaster reprises his role as The Screen Director's Playhouse presents "The Killers" (originally aired on NBC on June 5, 1949).
"The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." For Episode 384, Brandon and David continue their Noirvember series on Horror Noir with Se7en. Listen as they discuss how Andrew Kevin Walker wrote the script while working at Tower Records, what convinced David Fincher to do the movie, which A-List directors and actors turned down the movie because it was too dark, how they created the film's influential title credits, the fight over the film's controversial ending, and so much more!

This week we grapple with the problematics of Chinatown (1974), arguably one of the greatest neo-noirs, with a fraught and complicated history thanks to its director, Roman Polanski. Starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway, Chinatown represents the bleakness of noir amid the sunniness of LA, with a hefty dose of political and sexual corruption. Oof. TW for discussions of sexual assault and incest. Next week, we conclude Noirvember with a far happier entry: Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Happy Noirvember! On the fifty- third episode of ATFT, the Director of Communications for the Film Noir Foundation, Anne Hockens, joins me in analyzing Billy Wilder's 1944 film noir classic, Double Indemnity! This episode is spoiler- filled. Double Indemnity, according to Anne's friend and the president of the Film Noir Foundation Eddie Muller, marked the beginning of the film noir movement. The film revolves around Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), an insurance salesman, who one day meets Mrs. Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck), the wife of a customer, in attempt to renew a policy. Their attraction is clear from the moment they first lay eyes on each other and grows stronger with each meeting. When Phyllis suggests she would like her husband dead, they plan “the perfect murder” with the intention of collecting as much money as possible through the "double indemnity" clause in Mr. Dietrichson's insurance policy, unbeknownst to him, but they have to get past Neff's intuitive and deeply analytical boss Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) to pull it off. Double Indemnity is regarded by many still to this day as one of, if not the best film, within the noir genre. The Film Noir Foundation's 23rd annual Noir City Film Festival will take place in Oakland, California from January 16- 25. Over this week, 24 films will be screened but those titles won't be announced until the night of Noir Christmas which will take place in Oakland on December 17. Get your Noir Christmas tickets by clicking here! Individual tickets for the Noir City festival go on sale that night but you can get your Noir City pass by going to NoirCity.com. We talk extensively about the Film Noir Foundation towards the end of the episode so be sure to listen to the episode all the way through to learn more about all that's going on with the foundation from upcoming Noir City film festivals to their monthly magazine to their biweekly podcast Ask Eddie, with Anne and Eddie Muller, by going to their Facebook page, YouTube channel, and FilmNoirFoundation.org. In this episode, Anne and I talk about the techniques and noir tropes Double Indemnity introduces to the noir genre and cinema that continue to be utilized today, if Walter and Phyllis really loved each other, and why “tell” rather than “show” works to this film's advantage! Since this conversation marked the first time Anne and I have conversed, this episode does contain several tangents on topics such as other noir films, the danger of nitrate prints, and film sites Anne sees on a daily basis living in San Francisco. All this and more on the new episode of All the Film Things!Interested in listening to more film noir- focused episodes to celebrate Noirvember?

⭐The Man From Laramie (1955) - Western Film Noir Gunsmoke Meets Shadows Day 18 NOIRvember Celebration⭐
Send us a textExit Scary Season, hello Noirvember and back to film noir in earnest! We're leaving behind the subgenre of crazy kids on the run and into more established noir territory --- the private detective story. And do we have a great one for our entrance! Among the first pre-wave of classic film noir released in the US after WWII, it's 1946's The Big Sleep. Packed with talent in front of and behind the camera, packed with confusion by one of the hallmark authors of the hard – boiled writing style, packed with intrigue beyond the simple telling of a story --- it's a signal event of the genre. It's packed. It started, as do many of the early noir films, with a master of the pulp magazine story, the estimable Raymond Chandler. Chandler had an extremely round-about path to artistic success. He was a son of the Midwest, born in Chicago and raised in Nebraska, but due to family connections, well educated at Dulwich College in London. He became a British citizen and entered the civil service, which he found stifling. He moved on to newspaper work, had a stop in Canadian military service during WWI, then returned to the US, beginning an executive career in the Southern California oil industry. The Depression put paid to his work there, as well as contributed to his growing alcoholism. Short on funds, Chandler took a flyer and picked up on the paid – by – the – word pulp fiction magazines of the day, his first story in 1933 winning him instant success. He never looked back. He became more ambitious, his slow writing more fitted to novels than paid – by – the – word, publishing his first, The Big Sleep, in 1939.

⭐Man With the Gun (1955) - Western Film Noir Gunsmoke Meets Shadows Day 17 NOIRvember Celebration⭐
It's beginning to look a lot like Noirvember! This week we're getting steamy with the Wachowski's debut film, BOUND from 1996.Before getting into the film we're discussing the Wachowskis at large, their graphic novel and Hong Kong cinema influences, and how Bound was their Hollywood guarantor. This unique noir takes the Billy Wilder and Hitchcock influences and makes it the Wachowskis' own - we're breaking down the how's and why's, and how this feeds perfectly into the Matrix.Gina Gershon, Jennifer Tilly, and Joe Pantoliano are in the finest forms of their career, with Gershon and Tilly fighting over casting, and Joey Pants fighting to be nude on screen. Plus we learn how the crew became fluent in Wachowski as Susie Bright's proto-intimacy coordinating, Bill Pope's visuals, Zach Staenberg's editing, and Don Davis' music bring the sisters' style to the screen.Plus: sex, sex, SEX!
Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Jayson Buford continue Noirvember with a pair of LA blaxploitation neo-noirs/crime-thrillers about black women in desperate sociopolitical situations taking matters into their own outlaw action hero hands: Jack Hill's COFFY (1973) starring Pam Grier and F.

⭐The Naked Spur (1953) - Western Film Noir Gunsmoke Meets Shadows Day 14 NOIRvember Celebration⭐
Think film noir is all detectives and femme fatales? Think again. Kristy and Jeff trade daylight for streetlights as they slip into the smoky, shadowy world of Noirvember — a month-long celebration of crime, cynicism, and cinematic style. From doomed lovers to desperate antiheroes, this episode proves that in film noir, everyone's guilty of something.
Our celebration of "Noirvember" continues with the cast of The Maltese Falcon - the classic adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's celebrated novel. Peter Lorre plays a husband with a plot to dispose of his wife and her lover in "Till Death Do Us Part" (originally aired on CBS on December 15, 1942). Mary Astor is on the other side of the equation, as she plans to kill her husband and his girlfriend before they bump her off in "In Fear and Trembling" (originally aired on February 16, 1943). Humphrey Bogart stars in an adaptation of James M. Cain's gangland drama "Love's Lovely Counterfeit" (originally aired on CBS on March 8, 1945). And Sydney Greenstreet portrays John Dickson Carr's master sleuth Dr. Gideon Fell in the surviving half of "The Hangman Won't Wait" (originally aired on CBS on February 9, 1943)...and since only fifteen minutes of Mr. Greenstreet just won't do, we'll also hear him as Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe in "The Case of the Careworn Cuff" (originally aired on NBC on October 27, 1950). Then, all four stars recreate their film roles for The Screen Guild Theatre (originally aired on CBS on September 20, 1943).
⭐Bend of the River (1952) - Western Film Noir Gunsmoke Meets Shadows Day 13 NOIRvember Celebration⭐
Noirvember is here and the Czar of Noir Eddie Muller is back on the podcast to talk about his new book, DARK CITY DAMES: THE WOMEN WHO DEFINED FILM NOIR along with two crime classics featuring FOUR of those Dark City Dames! First, Jane Greer uses her seductive wiles to pit private eye Robert Mitchum against domineering gangster Kirk Douglas in OUT OF THE PAST (1947), from director Jacques Tourneur (CAT PEOPLE). This movie is a stone cold classic, and not only of the best noirs, but one of the best movies ever. Rhonda Fleming is a bonus Dark City Dame in this one. OUT OF THE PAST is streaming on HBOMax. Then, our B picture takes us to "one of the worst waterfronts in the world" where John Payne is an ex-boxer-turned-cabbie caught between good girl Evelyn Keyes and femme fatale Peggie Castle during a night of frame-jobs, jewel heists and murder in 99 RIVER STREET (1953), a totally bonkers noir from director Phil Karlson (WALKING TALL). 99 RIVER STREET is streaming on Amazon Prime. In talking about his new book, Eddie regales us with tales of how Jane Greer's parrots imitated Vin Scully's homerun call, and Greer had some impressions of her own + his encounters with the other women he profiles such as Ann Savage (DETOUR) and Marie Windsor (THE KILLING). And if that wasn't enough, Eddie fills us in on the upcoming Noir City fest in Oakland and gives his thoughts on the new Vince Gilligan series PLURIBUS! Plus, this episode itself also has a bonus dark city dame with three-time Ms. Noir City Audra Wolfman joining us to make this the best Noirvember ever! Eddie's new book, DARK CITY DAMES, is available at Alibi Bookshop in Vallejo, Calif. and wherever you buy books.

Noirvember keeps rolling with Helmut Käutner's Black Gravel (1961), a scalding portrait of postwar Germany buried under guilt, corruption, and American occupation. Mike is joined by Andrew Nette and Samm Deighan to dig into this bleak anti-Heimatfilm, where gravel trucker Robert Neidhardt (Helmut Wildt) scrapes by on the black market and rekindles an affair with Inge (Ingmar Zeisberg), now married to a U.S. officer. When an accident turns deadly, their secret unearths a moral wasteland of complicity and denial. Once condemned by the Oberhausen critics as “the worst achievement by an established director,” Käutner's film now stands as a bold, unflinching noir that dared to confront the rot beneath Germany's economic miracle.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Noirvember 2025 roars to life with Walter Hill's sleek, existential chase film The Driver (1978). Ryan O'Neal plays the nameless getaway specialist who moves through Los Angeles like a ghost, pursued by Bruce Dern's manic lawman hell-bent on taking him down. It's a lean, hypnotic duel between predator and prey where style is substance and silence is power. Mike rides shotgun with Beth Accomando and Walter Chaw to unpack Hill's minimalist approach, his homage to Melville's Le Samouraï, and the cold precision that makes The Driver a high-octane hymn to professionalism and control.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Noirvember 2025 roars to life with Walter Hill's sleek, existential chase film The Driver (1978). Ryan O'Neal plays the nameless getaway specialist who moves through Los Angeles like a ghost, pursued by Bruce Dern's manic lawman hell-bent on taking him down.

The Dames are back with Halloween hangovers and the start of Noirvember! This month, we're looking at neo-noirs set in 40s/50s LA. We begin with Devil in a Blue Dress, starring peak Denzel Washington as Easy Rawlins, an out-of-work machinist who gets caught up in the search for a missing woman, leading him into the seedy underworld and racist high society of the City of Angels. Next week, we'll go into even more sun-soaked political corruption and police brutality with LA Confidential!
This week we start Noirvember proper with "The Third Man." We discuss the history of the film, and it's dual American/British super producers. After we discuss the history of the film, we dive into the plot of the film and praise the film's distinctive style along the way. Finally, we get to our pairings, and pair the film with another for a duo of double bills.Thank you so much for listening!

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest author Megan Abbott kick off Noirvember with two dreamlike, expressionist and nihilistic 1940s B-noirs: Edgar G. Ulmer's dirty, depressed, intensely psychologically subjective murderous hitchhiking noir DETOUR (1945) and Mark Robson's bleak, satanic Gothic-horror conspiracy-mystery noir THE SEVENTH VICTIM (1943).
