Netflix just added THE SENTINEL (1977) and DRACULA (1979) w Frank Langella + Hitchcock's PSYCHO (1960) and its 2 sequels w/ Anthony Perkins. Netflix has this licensing deal w/ Universal but keeps cycling in the same films. If only Universal owned some other famous horror movies! #FilmSky #Halloween

Angie Dickinson is 95 today. My father got in trouble w/ my mother for letting me watch BIG BAD MAMA on HBO c. 1980. After that, when something inappropriate came on TV, he would exclaim "Look out! Another BIG BAD MAMA!" in a playfully mocking tone that drove my mother up the wall. #BOTD #FilmSky

A number of shots in THE GUILTY (1947) frame action through doors + windows, from a remove. Considering the story is told in flashback, and considering who tells it, I'd like to think these are clues to the unreliable nature of the narrator. #TheNoirCollective #TheGuilty #filmsky

B-movie acting aside, THE GUILTY (1947) offers a powerful depiction of PTSD. Film noir played a key role in advancing awareness of the post-traumatic stress many WW II veterans experienced. #TheNoirCollective #TheGuilty

Love this shot. If you thought the sets for this film felt deliberately rundown, how about an overhead shot of the bathroom?? The change in POV highlights how shabby this world is and makes Carr look like a rat in a cage. #TheNoirCollective #TheGuilty

I once worked w/ a woman named Greer and asked after whom she was named. “An old movie star” she said. “You never heard of her.” I had, of course, and was shocked she had never seen her namesake in a film. So, I recommended MRS. MINIVER and she loved it, which made both of us happy. #BOTD #FilmSky
