What exactly is film noir? Many enthusiasts and experts continue to debate the subject, with numerous examples of films that should, and just as many that should not, be included in the category. Some, who most likely feel that noir films rely on a certain look, dismiss any colour film as unworthy of being categorised as such. Others like myself, prone to distinguishing noir by its subject matter, are more inclined to include some of those colour films produced during noir's classic time period that focus on crime and the psychologies of those involved. This brings me to my next TCM selection and a prior Blu-ray recommendation here

1953's Niagara, one of the strongest arguments for colour noir that exists. See for yourself on Wednesday, July 31 at 11:15pm PST.

Another color "noir" film is DESERT FURY starring noir queen Lizabeth Scott, Burt Lancaster and John Hodiak. Check it out.

Some say the "Marilyn Monroe Walk" alone is one good reason to watch.
