> The new Prisoner miniseries was on AMC, IIRC. The original was also available on "On Demand," w/o interruptions. I think it holds up very well, but then I love surrealism, McGoohan, and Leo McKern, among the many other fine British actors that were in it.
The original Prisoner is also supposed to look really good on blu-ray, since it was shot on 35mm film originally.

Can't wait until Friday evening - what a great schedule TCM has for those who remember the good ol' days of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker comedies of the 80s and early 90s.
I always laugh myself silly with any of these movies!
Surely, they're something to look forward to

> I do happen to think that Orson Welles' *Touch of Evil* is the best American film ever made, and it IS a film noir, but it came near the end of the noir era. I might call *Citizen Kane* a proto-noir, certainly it has lots of noir elements, but I don't think it is generally considered a film noir.
I don't know anyone who would consider Citizen Kane to be noir, either, but its style of cinematography, full of shadows and striking contrasts, does seem to have something in common with many of the best noirs. Ironically, cinematographer Gregg Toland never really got to work in a true film noir, perhaps in part due to his tragic death when he was just 44.
What Toland could have done working in film noir, we'll never know.
