Very impressed you got the quote from Pickup on South Street. Terrific movie, but not as well known as many noirs.
ReplyDeleteAll I got is 3) Nightmare Alley and 8) Sunset Blvd.
ReplyDelete1. Double Indemnity

11. This Gun For Hire
ReplyDelete13. The Big Heat
Great job, Ron!
Deletelate to the game, but # 12 (Detour) is one of my noir favorites. Ann Savage's career best IMO.
ReplyDeleteThe phone cord scene in Detour is a classic, too!
Delete10. Scarlet Street
ReplyDeleteScarlet Street is oen of Fritz Lang's best...too bad he had to modify the ending to satisfy the censors.
DeleteThat wraps up this month's game. Thanks to everyone who played!
