I think she and Audrey Totter are quickly becoming two of my favorite Noir ladies. Of course, they'll never move ahead of Rita Hayworth. Well August being Summer Under the Stars bumps almost everything. De Havilland passing was special enough for TCM to change their SUTS schedule but in the past other actors have passed and TCM held off their tribute until September. (and fans of these actors were vocal about that). BUT I do wish TCM would feature a iconic noir actor on each Saturday of SUTS and have Eddie introduce 2 or so films in the evening. Not the entire day of noir films but only a few. E.g. Bogie, Garfield, Andrews, Mitchum, Windsor, Totter,, etc... Show their non noir films for 3\4 of the 'day' and save a few noirs for Eddie and the evening. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Hoganman1 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Thanks, Dargo and the photo of Marie certainly got my attention. Of course, Janis is no slouch either. Also, I like your idea jamesjazzguitar. Link to post Share on other sites

There's something about Audrey Totter that's just magnetic to me. I'm immensely drawn to her odd, strangely cruel, beauty. Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie could still host Noir Alley--just have one of the stars from the film be SUTS that day. Link to post Share on other sites
laffite Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Eddie might not like that. He might enjoying having the month off. Link to post Share on other sites
ElCid Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I re-watched Night Editor yesterday. If you haven't seen it, probably worth watching. Ironically it is in a DVD set with One Girl's Confession, Women's Prison and Over-Exposed. Cleo Moore is on these three. The set is Bad Girls or Film Noir, Vol 2. The ones with Moore are better with her just being a bad girl or almost bad girl or bad girl becomes better. Whereas Janis Carter is pure evil in Editor and stays that way all through the movie. She looks the part and acts the part. Link to post Share on other sites

ElCid Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 As with most posters of that era, it is somewhat misleading. Cleo Moore character was not that bad of a girl. One placed into poor circumstances and takes a wrong turn to get out of a bad life. Manipulates the legal system, but then has a change of heart and does the right thing by accident, but accepts it as being the right thing to do. Link to post Share on other sites

She did those things only because of the production code. (this is a lame joke, but it does have a point). Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the time-saver. So I guess saying men shouldn't marry her type of woman isn't to be taken as gospel. Link to post Share on other sites
