T-Men (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Men

There's that weird image of a semi-naked man and a metal wall again. For some reason it's reminding me of that post-X-Files thing “Millennium”. The whole thing has a kind of raw vitality I guess.

The Crooked Web (1955)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crooked_Web

Dude, I get it, she's metaphorically a spider, let it go.

The Spiral Staircase (1946)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spiral_Staircase_(1946_film)

Baffling design choices—a weird 3-D effect where Fleming is holding a poster for the movie of which this is the poster? No spiral staircase anywhere to be seen? That house is a single storey so it's not there, is it?

Hi! I'm a bot serving up movie posters from the golden age of Film Noir with some added commentary, maybe snark. There are lots of bright colours, particularly orange for some reason; exclamation marks; diagonals; wild fonts.

T-Men (1947)

What. The. Hell. I have no idea what's going on here. It looks more like something from “Silence of the Lambs” than a 1940s movie.

The Killers (1946)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killers_(1946_film)

As previously mentioned the Hemingway work this is based on is a sub-3,000-word story in which nothing "untamed" happens at all except some people pointing guns and liberal use of the N-word. But hey if his name sells a move…

Ride the Pink Horse (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_the_Pink_Horse

OK it can't be just me, right? “Ride the Pink Horse” *really* sounds like a sexual innuendo. In this case it's just a carousel horse, but I think they knew what they were doing…

"Friendship is the most valuable thing a man can have. It's worth more than money, land, horses, or cattle. It might be the only thing you never forget. And it lasts forever."

I Walk Alone (1947)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Walk_Alone

This is so garish and over the top, I love it. His little finger seems to have suffered some kind of injury. That's what happens when you trust a dame.

The Big Combo (1955)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Combo

That giant hand is unusual: you don't normally get those kind of visual metaphors in Film Noir posters. Also unusual, a disabled character? There's no mention of wheelchairs or disability in the Wikipedia plot summary, though it does describe the fate of one character as “permanently submerged”.

The Price of Fear (1956)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Price_of_Fear_(1956_film)
poster language: German
“Schonungslos” means “relentlessly” it seems. I like this, although it looks distractingly like the animated show “Archer”.

Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_the_Sidewalk_Ends_(film)

The stars look about as realistic as the little figures on top of a wedding cake.

NB: where the sidewalk ends, your lettering may spill over a bit into the gutter. Plan ahead accordingly.

Loophole (1954)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loophole_(1954_film)

Very interesting art style here, there's nothing else like it in this collection. It's kind of light and breezy, more romance-novel like.

“Dangerous Enquiry” in French. Not sure why it's “Dangereuse Enquête” and not “Enquête Dangereuse” shouldn't the adjective go first?

Female on the Beach (1955)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_on_the_Beach

This is very similar to the famous image in “From Here To Eternity”, released just a couple of years before. Except that more clothes.

Wikipedia quotes a review which notes "a hackneyed script and the artificiality and pretentiousness of Miss Crawford's acting style. At the end, the guilty party is revealed in a ridiculous way.”

Phantom Lady (1944)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_Lady_(film)
poster language: French
“The Hands Which Kill” in French. This one absolutely looks like a horror movie rather than a Noir. And not a good one.

"Time, time, what is time? Swiss manufacture it, French hoard it, Italians squander it, Americans say it is money, Hindus say it does not exist. You know what I say? I say time is a crook."

Cornered (1945)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornered_(1945_film)

Love the shadows. Love her suit, matching hat and cravat or whatever you'd call it. Don't love the fan over that actor's face, she must have hated this poster when she saw it.

Did you know that the word “cravat” means “Croatian”? You're welcome.

Across the Bridge (1957)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Across_the_Bridge_(film)
poster language: Spanish
Am I crazy or does his suit not fit him? Also, cute dog. There aren't many dogs in these posters, mostly cats, which are more Film Noir of course.
