Re: Noir Alley

I think the relationship was more one sided on Cook's part. Tierney used him to clean up his messes. As his reward, Tierney let him worship him. Although there seems to be some homoerotic longing going on, you'd think if Cook ever acted on it, why would Tierney go off on Cook after he left Trevor's...

Re: I Just Watched...

Maybe I have it and just don't know it. LOL. It's such a chore to go through the hundreds of channels on their grid.

Re: I Just Watched...

I've seen the color episode on MeTV too, as it's the only channel on which I've ever watched PM. The distributor withheld the color episode from the syndication package for many years, for some reason. I don't get MeTV but I have seen it on FETV. I laugh a bit when Perry comes back with Della to fi...

Re: I Just Watched...

I think there were a handful of jazz nightclub type episodes. Unsure which one I'm remembering. Yeah, suddenly Perry is on 3 or 4 cable channels now with marathons on wknds on one of them. And starting earlier on weeknights too. Yeah, I just noticed tonight that PM is also on another channel in add...

Re: I Just Watched...

I have Spectrum. I've not seen FETV on it, but then havent been looking. But I get plenty of Perry on other channels I have. Maybe I've seen the color episode, but it was the B&W version.

Re: Coming up on TCM...

I tend not to believe that as Jennifer gave it away.

Re: Coming up on TCM...

Anyone catch the Jennifer Jones/Joseph Cotton double feature on Sun. night? Neither of those films are shown on TCM very much. I tuned in during the middle of Portrait of Jennie (not realizing it was on). I love Love Letters, but it ran too late, so I recorded it to watch this wknd. I love the score...

Re: Noir Alley

The first murder points to a variation on the old saying about bringing a knife to a gun fight. If he had a gun he could have shot Tierney with nothing to worry about. Of course it would have been a much shorter movie. Yes, Sam Wilde is one of the most cold-blooded killers in noir and one of the mo...

Re: Noir Alley

Oh joy!! THE BIG KNIFE is coming on the 27th and 28th!! Wonder what Eddie has to say about this laugh fest noir. It's a treasure trove of campy good badness, including hilariously gauche "ironic" musical touches emphasizing the existential and metaphorical aspects of Charlie's compromised...

Re: I Just Watched...

:D Who else enjoyed the cheapjack Monogram WWII propaganda "thriller" I ESCAPED FROM THE GESTAPO? Dean Jagger (when he still had hair, but it was probably a rug) plays a forger unwittingly involved with a drab bunch of B-movie Nazi saboteurs in hard g "Los Angle-eez" headed by J...

Re: I Just Watched...

I think I vaguely remember that episode now, at least that Bobby Troup was in it. (unless he was in another one) I'll watch out for it! :D Yeah, Bobby played the beatnik piano player with the hard to fathom monologues. I think he was in a couple other episodes, maybe the one where James Drury playe...

Re: Noir Alley

I was glad that Eddie pointed out the homosexual implications of the Elisha Cook, Jr./Lawrence Tierney relationship. Their little apartment has one bed. Elisha is reading on his side of the bed when Tierney enters the room after committing two murders and then goes to sit down on his side of the be...

Re: Noir Alley

Just saw Born To Kill (1947) for the second time. One of the darkest and most depraved of the 1940s noirs. Laurence Tierney plays one of the most menacing thugs in film history. He apparently was like that in real life. Just from the way he looked, he didn't appear to have an upper lip so even when...
