Hosting weekly watch parties of #FilmNoir – both beloved classics and forgotten gems – every Wednesday at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. Check back each week for our upcoming schedule!
NEXT WED at #TheNoirCollective: Barbara’s coming! Barbara Stanwyck, that is, because it felt like she was long overdue a visit. @vanstanwyck.bsky.social is hosting NO MAN OF HER OWN (1950), in which the seedy underbelly of noir invades the middle-class trappings of suburbia. Don’t miss it! 😊
Tonight at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, #TheNoirCollective concludes its CABBIES OF NOIR series with one of the best: Ernie Driscoll, an ex-boxer whom life hands some heavy blows. 🥊🚕 It’s 99 RIVER STREET, cohosted by @jauntworksstudio.bsky.social & @ladykdesigns.bsky.social. Link: archive.org/details/99-r...
This Wed at #TheNoirCollective: the CABBIES OF NOIR make their final stop at 99 RIVER STREET (1953). @jauntworksstudio.bsky.social and @ladykdesigns.bsky.social cohost this noir classic, in which former boxer John Payne discovers that the hardest hits happen after you leave the ring. 🥊🚕 Join us! 😊
The incomparable Barbara Stanwyck was #BOTD in 1907. In our great tradition of celebrating stars’ birthdays just a little late (Peter Lorre, Susan Hayward), #TheNoirCollective has some Stanwyck in store on July 29. (And no, not Double Indemnity. 😅) Check back here in a week for more details. 😊
THIS SATURDAY, the CABBIES OF NOIR take a detour to #NoirAlley, as Eddie Muller hosts DARK PASSAGE (1947). Then NEXT WEDNESDAY, at #TheNoirCollective: the final leg, as @jauntworksstudio.bsky.social & @ladykdesigns.bsky.social co-host 99 RIVER STREET (1953). See you in the streets – in the dark! 🚕
