Thank you Tony,
Visit when you can–next posting in maybe a week or ten days will be about noir films in color. It was inspired by a discussion on the Amazon Film Noir Community. My current posting is called “Little Caesar and the Dark Highways of Noir Fiction” and includes my review of Allan Guthrie’s book HARD MAN.
Look forward to your comments,
Mike L.
