This is an elegant homage by Rob in L.A. to some of the iconic femmes-noir. Make sure your speakers are on as the haunting rendition by Bruce Springsteen of Angel Eyes is integral to the experience.

Hi! Tony,
Oops!…I had my “speakers” up to loud!…
… Nice!
I create a video with the assistance of the Amimoto
guys, but I decided not to tranfer it to a widget…because of your experience with your widget, but I don’t think that I would have experience what happen to you, because you, have a “thing” called a “readership.” (or readers that following your blog(s).
As the Amimoto Guys say,
Take Care!
Dcd 😉

Tony: You made me smile (and shed a few too)on this gray and overcast day with this lovely youtube compilation of performers and scenes that are ingrained in cultural consciousness, and in our affections. My personal favorite clip is the one with Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson from PERSONA, but I have always been spellbound by Simone Simon, Gloria Graham, Rita Hayworth, Louise Brooks, Joan Crawford and Jane Greer in their respective magical moments here. It’s stuff like this (aside from the great reviews) that makes FilmsNoir.net the place for serious film lovers to be. It’s a place for intellectuals and those with a strain of nostalgia too.

Thanks Dcd, nitramnnaed, and Sam for you comments.
Dcd, a widget will help build readership, so give it a try.
Sam, Marie Windsor is my passion, and Louise Brooks – well – she is from another planet!
