Wrapping up #Noirvember with the new-to-me French noir THE BIG RISK from 1960 directed by Claude Sautet on The Criterion Channel. 🎥
Completing my viewing of the Fox Noir collection for #Noirvember tonight by watching the 1950 film WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS directed by Otto Preminger. 🎥
Part way through watching Quai des Orfèvres and I thought Mathieu Amalric could play the police inspector in a remake. Then I remembered that Wes Anderson modelled Amalric’s character in The French Dispatch on Louis Jouvet’s character and it all made sense.
Some French noir on the final weekend of #Noirvember with Henri-Georges Clouzot’s 1947 film QUAI DES ORFÈVRES on MUBI. 🎥
