1940's/early 50's and Film Noir recomendations

[vogonity]

Detour: none more noir.

 

[stereotypical]

hmmm, I may have to let you have that....

Chinatown, Friends of Eddy Coyle, the Long Goodbye, Devil in a Blue Dress, Brick & The Grifters are all pretty decent modern noirs.

Glad someone mentioned the Grifters, great film.

Anjelica Houston is brilliant in it

Baije sent me some great links and i'm not sure i'll ever leave the house again.

Clacton is just the kind of place where a man would rob a petrol station with pants on his head as well, used ones, just to add to the overall affect.

Do you mean this?

"Miles Davis recorded the music with a quartet of French musicians in a few hours (from 11pm to 5am one night), improvising each number and sipping champagne with Jeanne Moreau and Louis Malle."

Sounds like my kind of night
