    Sounds good. But is the Rules of Film Noir a series or are they just showing it over and over?

    I'm assuming the (R) means repeat and that the show is some kinda doc. Looks like a great season. All the films mentioned are great.

    Didn't even notice that. :D Still strange that they'd show it 3 times in two days. There's plenty of Noir documentaries out there.

    Thanks for the heads up. I've seen all of these except for The Big Combo - will try to catch it Saturday night...and a good chance to revisit some of the others

    Nice one, thanks. Build My Gallows High (Out of the Past) was the film that got me into noir in the first place.

    And The Rules of Film Noir looks could be interesting, considering no-one seems to agree on what they are :)
