Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) delivers exceptional suspense and dread through its oppressive atmosphere and psychological horror. The film's legacy as a definitive science fiction classic has consistently praised Don Siegel's masterful direction creating an effectively unsettling mood.

There aren't many Noir anti-heroes as narcissistic as Chuck Tatum (Kirk Douglas). One that comes to mind is Stanton Carlisle (Tyrone Power) of Nightmare Alley. #TheNoirCollective will feature another another in their next #WatchParty. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #AceInTheHole

The ending to Kubrick's #FullMetalJacket is a contrast to his earlier war film, #PathsOfGlory. Kirk Douglas' character recognized that his troops, despite the brutality of the war, still had their souls. In Jacket, the Marines' sing a childhood song. However, there's no sign of souls surviving.

Kubrick had the Marines talk in a monotone, rhythmic cadence to show how basic training hollowed them out to become tools of the state. #TCMParty #FullMetalJacket

Not incidentally, Phil Karlson’s eight-film stretch of noirs from 1952-57 – Scandal Sheet, #KansasCityConfidential, 99 River Street, Tight Spot, Hell’s Island, 5 Against the House, The Phenix City Story, and The Brothers Rico – is one of the most astounding runs in noir history. #TheNoirCollective

Sometimes it's interesting to look back on older work, I made this artwork of Ginger Rogers for Arrow in 2017. They changed the text for the cover - I think mine was probably too hard to read.
Cover artwork by Jennifer Dionisio for the Arrow Academy release of Magnificent Doll (1946). A historical drama starring Ginger Rogers & David Niven. Directed by Frank Borzage.
