Thanks to #NoirAlley, we thoroughly enjoyed #StrangeBargain (1949) and its sequel, the Murder, She Wrote episode "The Days Dwindle Down" (1987). It's fascinating to see this story make the leap from film to television across the decades. #Noir #MurderSheWrote #TCMParty

Of course, the true star of “Strange Bargain” is this sweet kitty baby

Repeat after me, Wilson: “Am I being detained? No? I’m leaving.” Then leave. #NoirAlley #StrangeBargain #TCMParty

You know Miss Vantay is the secretary because she always carries a pad & paper. #NoirAlley #StrangeBargain #TCMParty

You’ll get my fingerprints after you get a damn warrant. #NoirAlley #StrangeBargain #TCMParty

Just like white folks to show up at the house after a death completely empty-handed, not even a casserole.#NoirAlley #StrangeBargain #TCMParty

We need #NoirAlley bingo cards that include a disturbed cat. #StrangeBargain #TCMParty

Every time a dog barks in an old movie, I think of that #GeorgeCarlin bit: “That dog’s dead!” #StrangeBargain #NoirAlley #TCMParty

WTF on this gunshot scheme. #StrangeBargain #NoirAlley #TCMParty

A $28 bike would be a $354 bike in 2023. #StrangeBargain #NoirAlley #TCMParty

The backdrop to the opening credits is very I Love Lucy #StrangeBargain #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Orange you happy with Eddie’s tie and pocket square tonight? #StrangeBargain #NoirAlley #TCMParty

One problem I have with this is that in real life, even in 1949, Jarvis's plan wouldn't work. Any half decent ballistic expert could tell from the trajectory of the bullet, not to mention powder burns on Jarvis's hand, that it was suicide. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #StrangeBargain

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it
If I please

Cars and servants. Hmmm. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #StrangeBargain
