Silver City

Sat Feb 2, 2008, 6:04 PM
Went to Noir City last night.

It was swell.

Conflict... Bogart was awesome in that movie, even if he did play a murderous husband. I think the photograph I have of him is from this movie...looks like he was wearing the same coat. Sydney Greenstreet was there, too! Impeccable as ever. (Random fact: He and I have the same birthday.)

The Suspect... It had the same basic storyline as Conflict--the theme that night being "murderous husbands" and all--but this one was set in 1902 England. According to Eddie Muller, it's not the setting that makes Noir, but the characters. This movie definitely was Noir. Charles Laughton has the greatest expressions.

The theater even had an authentic organ! There was someone playing at the opening and during intermission.

Gosh, I wish I could have gone to see more movies, but it's kinda hard if you're at college two hours away from the city. I'm still happy that I at least got to go for one day. Of course, I couldn't have found out about Noir City when I was still living in the city... *sigh* It always turns out that way, doesn't it?

You haven't got a clue what you're talking about, do you? Don't even know what exactly Noir is.

If Eddie Muller says it's Noir, then it's Noir.

I'm still not really fond of the Edwardian setting, though.
