For the Love of Film Noir :: To Be Continued…

 

 
Well, folks, it got too big too fast and almost got away from me. But! Even though the month is over and we didn’t get as far as we’d hoped, fear not, at some point in the future the Morgue will head back to Noirville again and pick up exactly where we left off. As for now, we’ll be on hiatus for a couple of weeks as I head to the Riverside Drive In in Vandergrift, PA, for the two night April Ghoul’s Monster Rama festival. Thus and so, updates will resume on around April 15. Until then, Boils and Ghouls, stay cool.
 

For the Love of Film Noir :: Loving Him Plunged Their Lives into the Darkness that Surrounded Him! (December, 1947)

 

 

 

This post is part of my rehash and continuation of the For the Love of Film Noir Blogathon originally held back in February of 2011. Thus and so, we will be heading down the rain-soaked streets and neon-drenched back alleys of Noirville again for the entire month of March. And along with all the old material migrating over from the old site, we’ll also be scattering around a lot of new stuff as well. Also of note, we’ll be posting them in chronological order to show how the genre evolved and progressed from the 1940′s through the late ’50s. And as an added bonus, I’ll be posting some vintage adverts to stuff I’ve always associated with the genre — cigarettes, booze and fashionable ladies.
