  1. The only film I have not seen from this batch is Port of New York. I cannot wait to see what you have to say about The Night of the Hunter, Tony! As expressed at Coleman’s Corner, I do love that film. (And of course there is a worthwhile debate concerning whether or not it is, indeed, a noir.)

    Thank you for highlighting The Dark Mirror, a personal favorite among underrated entries, particularly by Siodmak. A deeply psychological picture.

  2. I was just ready to jump in and tell you how enthused I was over the prospect of THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, but Alexander beat me to the punch. But aside from that thematic masterwork, virtually the entire lineup is quite delicious.
