Re: Noir Alley on TCM

It could be remade, follow the novel, have one of the greatest female protagonists in Noir, and you'd have a completely different Film Noir.

Re: Noir Alley on TCM

Here is a Cornell Woolrich based film that unfortunately completely changes the entire setup of the novel. The 1943 novel takes place in New York City, The 1946 film adaptation unfortunately moves everything to Los Angeles. That wipes out the entire searching The Bowery flophouses for "Heartbre...

Re: Noir Alley

That is what happens when you run out of the better Noir you have access to, you either scrape the bottom of the barrel or you acquire the rights to show more.
