For the Love of Film (Noir)

Post by pvitari »

Hey all! The second annual Film Preservation Blogathon, for The Love of Film (Noir), hosted by The Self-Styled Siren and Ferdy on Film, will take place on February 14-21. Details at the Siren's site:

I feel a Dick Powell in tough guy mode screencapping session coming on.... (I LOVE Dick Powell, in ANY mode, whether he's crooning in a Busby Berkeley film or getting all hardboiled in a noir...)

Hey kids! The For Love of Film Noir Blogathon begins today!

The hosts are the Self-Styled Siren at http://selfstyledsiren.blogspot.com/ and Ferdy at http://www.ferdyonfilms.com/ and you can find the links for all the participants at their sites.

I am participating in the blogathon at http://paulasmoviepage.shutterfly.com where you can find all of On Dangerous Ground, screencapped for your viewing pleasure. ;)

"Well, Ida, how much money do you think they'll raise this time?"

"I don't know, Robert, but I sure hope it's a lot so we can get Cy Endfield's The Sound of Fury properly restored!"

Someone on the editorial board of The New York Times loves noirs as well. This is on the online editorial page this week:
