If you've never read the source novel for OUT OF THE PAST (1947), you're missing out. This edition of BUILD MY GALLOWS HIGH from Stark House Press is a must-read, must-own for film noir fans: andywolverton.substack.com/p/build-my-g...

Your mum has wonderful taste! 😃 Those actors are so, so good in that film. I also love A FEW GOOD MEN!

Revisiting 12 Angry Men (1957): What Does It Say About Us Today?
Try to imagine the sales pitch for this film to movie executives: “Okay, this picture is about twelve sweaty, impatient men, standing in judgment of a teenage boy accused of murder.

Same. And the newer (or remodeled) ones are some of the most unwelcoming places I've ever seen. It's like they don't want you to come in.

I'm sure they'll make every effort to make it available as soon as they can. Keep me posted!

I messaged a friend of mine connected with the Film Noir Foundation. She said they're only selling them at festivals right now but they will eventually be available online. No set date.

Andy Wolverton @awolverton.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
Hmmm... Right now it looks like they are only available at Noir City events. Let me contact someone who might know more. I'll be in touch.

Marya, thank you so much for getting the word out about this film. I haven't seen it, but will seek it out. I literally got a colonoscopy TODAY! Thank God everything looks good, but you're right: everyone needs to get checked. Thank you!

I'm honored to have an essay in the new Noir City Annual 17 focusing on the women of Act of Violence (1948). The annual also features fantastic graphic design work by @mwkronenberg.bsky.social and is available at all Noir City festivals (and soon on Amazon). These sell out quickly, so don't delay.
